12. Canada – 35 Billionaires
Like the United States, the country that would eventually come to be known as Canada initially began to be colonized by European settlers during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, except Canada started out as a French colony, before being taken over by the British later on. Canada went on to eventually become its own sovereign nation following the events of the first World War, but it did not become a fully independent country until 1982. Canada is the world’s second largest country in terms of total area, which happens to be home to over 35 million people, and with a GDP of nearly 1.8 trillion dollars, it is the 11th largest economy in the world. Canada’s economy is highly globalized, as it is one of the ten biggest trading countries in the world, and it also possesses a low economic disparity amongst its citizens. Most of Canada’s economy revolves around the service industry, but a great deal of it also involves lumber and oil production, as well as manufacturing and pharmaceutical development. Canadians are known for being some of the nicest people in the world, so reasoning dictates that the 35 billionaires who live there, are the nicest billionaires around.
