For children of immigrant entrepreneurs, wealth is often tied to stories of sacrifice and hard work. These families may place strong emphasis on education, discipline, and giving back. As a result, many of these youth feel a deep responsibility to honor their parents’ journey. Many wealthy Canadian families are involved in charitable foundations, community projects, and global aid programs. Children are often introduced to philanthropy early, attending fundraising events or volunteering.
Some rich kids become passionate advocates for issues such as climate change, mental health, Indigenous rights, and poverty reduction. With access to funding and influence, they can turn their ideas into real initiatives. This growing focus on “impact” reflects a shift from pure wealth accumulation to purposeful living.
