- Galen Weston and family (Holt Renfrew, Loblaws, Weston Bakeries) $8.67 billion
- Jeffrey Skoll (President, eBay.com) $6.66 billion

- Bernard (Barry) Sherman (Apotex Group of Cos.) $2.5 billion
- David Azrieli (Canpro Investments Ltd.) $2.26 billion
- Edward (Ted) Rogers Jr. (Rogers Communications Inc.) $2.21 billion
It should be noted that if Canadian Business could not determine the net worth of someone (e.g. Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin whose family owns Canada Steamship Lines), they did not include them on the list.
