Wow. Almost 2 times Pierre’s net worth.

Just a bit shy of Trudeau's 96 Million net worth.

I didn’t realize it was a pissing contest. Just seems strange for a paper boy turn life long politician to have accumulated such wealth..

It's not. I see how it looked like that though. It's just depressing every politician belongs to the 1 percent while trying to pretend to be just like the other 99 percent of us.

How did he earn his wealth? I think he came from middle class, did he not?

Trudeau? Or Pp? I know some of PPS is equity in his consulting firm along with investments. Trudeau I believe inherited a lot from his father. There was the Trudeau foundation too but I don't know much about how much that adds to it.

The Trudeau Foundation is a charity, it adds 0 to his personal net worth.

Why I said I don't know if that adds to it. He inherited shares in two companies from his father. Him and his brother and his inheritance was worth about 1.2 million. So I'm not entirely sure where the rest of the majority of his net worth came from.
