I think a more useful metric is how many average Canadian lifetimes of income they make a year. 

When you look at these people make 10-20x what you’ll make in your entire life, it really makes you think. 

If I were that rich I’d work like 1 year, then retire. Who needs much money? My wants don’t go that big. I think most people’s wants don’t go that big.

    Median wage. The average is skewed because of the very rich.

    Who needs much money?

    A lot of them, when they get money, they start moving around in circles where they look at their fortune and say "those are rookie numbers"
