Canada's Richest Canadians
9. Dan Akroyd
Net Worth: $135 million
Any one who believes Dan Akroyd is just an actor best known as an original cast member of Saturday Night Live and Ray Stantz from Ghostbusters has grossly underestimated his capabilities. Beginning in 2006, he became a partner with Niagara Cellars, which owns four wineries in Niagara, Ontario. They began marketing a series of red and white wines under his name. In 2009, he introduced Crystal Head Vodka, which plays on his interest in the paranormal thanks to the crystal skull shaped bottle. He also plans to introduce a vodka based on the movie and Saturday Night Live sketch Coneheads. As a co-writer on Ghostbusters and The Blues Brothers, he has a larger stake both franchises, which allows him to profit from merchandise and video games based on them. Plus, if a third sequel to Ghostbusters ever gets off the ground, Akroyd stands to profit once again.
