With a net worth estimated at over $30 million, Chrystia Freeland has cemented herself as one of the wealthiest politicians in Canada. Her rise to the top, both in politics and finances, is a testament to her intelligence, ambition, and hard work.
Freeland’s wealth comes from a successful career in journalism and finance before she entered the world of politics. After graduating from Harvard with a Master’s degree in Slavic studies, she spent years as a journalist for various publications, including the Financial Times and The Economist. In 1999, she made the move to finance, becoming Deputy Editor of The Globe and Mail. She then worked for various investment banks and served as editor of Thomson Reuters Digital before returning to journalism in 2010 as Editor of Thomson Reuters. Her success in the corporate world only continued to grow, leading her to become the Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre in 2013 and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2017.
As her political career flourished, so did her wealth. In addition to her parliamentary salary and expenses, Freeland owns multiple properties, including a $3 million home in Toronto and a $5.3 million apartment in New York City. She also has investments in various companies, including SNC-Lavalin, Bombardier, and Gilead
