The late Kenneth Thomson, left, who stepped down as the head of his company to let his son David, left, take over, once ranked in Forbes’ Top 15.
The 13th Annual Rich 100 is a celebration of the best and brightest in Canadian business. This year the list is both a barometer showing how the wealthy and affluent are not immune to world economic chaos and a testimony that Canada is still much better off than many parts of the industrialized.
Once again we see that the Thomson clan is still our richest family but the year has not been kind with the family fortunes dropping 8% — that's $2 billion. Don't feel too badly for them however, the family is still worth more than $20 billion. Times have also been tough for Edward Sampson of Niko Resources who exited the Rich 100 after his personal wealth declined by 38%.
