The international couple, who Ryan say split their time between Europe and New York City and are self-made, also bought the lot next door for an additional $7,500,000 to build a guest house and tennis courts.
The buyers were able to purchase the home because Whistler is exempt from a new law that prohibits foreigners from buying homes in Canada.

Hey man it was me that took my dad’s $6m loan. It was also me that showed up to the interview with the bank manager he set up who is also a close friend of his. And it was me that signed the papers.
I worked my ass off to get to where I am today. None of which would have been possible without all the hard work I had to do! What a risk I took!
So yeah, self made millionaires totally exist! I’m living proof.
Unless you printed the money yourself you’re not “self made” you got your money from other people. To get that money you depended on a society that is wealthy enough and connected enough to be capable of giving you millions of dollars in exchange for whatever you’re selling. Most of that capacity, both in baseline social wealth (health, education, and stability) is paid for through taxes. TAX THE RICH UNTIL THEY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.
