A home in an exclusive neighborhood overlooking Alta Lake has sold for $32,000,000, breaking Whistler’s real estate sale price record by nearly $10,000,000.
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.

Lol that’s always BS.
And yet journalists continue to use it to describe the rich.
sigh
The journalists who write op-eds that gush about rich people are often rich people (or are the spouses of wealthy individuals).
You understand that global economic stability relies on people gambling their lives on a dream, right? Well, that and pure willful ignorance.
What would the journalists do? Try to explain that to people, and that nobody has figured out a way to fix it yet?
It’d be a start at least.
There are a few independent news sources that do this tho. They just don’t get the traffic MSM does.
