  • How Much Kevin O'Leary Says You Need to Retire — And What Would He Invest In?
    Apr 11 2025

    Think you're saving enough for your Canadian retirement — or are you just chasing returns while missing the wealth-building moves that Canadians like Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary swear by?

    For many aspiring high-net-worth Canadians and incorporated business owners, the drive to grow wealth often leads to chasing the next hot stock or investment trend. But as Kevin O'Leary reminds us, real financial freedom comes from discipline, strategy, and maximizing tax-sheltered opportunities that most overlook.

    Whether you're earning over $200K annually or just starting to scale your incorporated business, this conversation will challenge your assumptions. We dive deep into why RRSPs are still one of the most underused tools for wealth creation, who’s actually maxing out their contribution room, and how the wealthiest Canadians are using strategies rooted in long-term thinking — not hype-driven returns.

    What you’ll learn:

    • Learn how high-income earners and incorporated business owners can strategically use RRSPs to unlock long-term financial security.
    • Discover why many Canadians are leaving hundreds of thousands in unused RRSP contribution room — and how to avoid making a big retirement planning miscue.
    • Understand the costly habits of “late to the party return chasers” and how disciplined retirement planning with or without the RRSP can ensure you have the retirement income you’re striving for.

    Hit play now to learn Kevin O’Leary’s retirement target, how he’d invest it, and how you can follow a smarter path to a “Mr. Wonderful” financial future.
