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.

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.
