Canadian Business mag­a­zine recently pub­lished its annual list of the country’s 100 rich­est indi­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies.

The Thompson fam­ily, own­ers of Thomson Reuters, held onto their Number 1 spot, with a net worth of roughly $18.45 billion.

Number 100? The Molson fam­ily, of the brew­ery fame. They’re worth only about $500 million.
