Education plays a major role in the lives of wealthy Canadian youth. Many attend private schools before moving on to top universities in Canada, the United States, or abroad. Institutions like the University of Toronto, McGill, Harvard, or Oxford are popular choices. While some rich kids pursue traditional careers in law, medicine, or business, others choose creative paths such as fashion, music, social media, or entrepreneurship. With financial support from their families, they often have the freedom to take risks, start businesses, or explore passion projects without worrying about immediate income.
In recent years, social media has made the lives of rich kids more visible. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube showcase luxury cars, designer clothes, private jets, and high-end restaurants. Some Canadian influencers come from wealthy backgrounds and openly display their lifestyles, attracting both admiration and criticism. However, not all wealthy youth choose to show their privilege online. Many prefer privacy and avoid public attention, especially in Canada’s generally modest and low-key culture.
