Top founders of all time:
Peter Gilgan
Company: Mattamy Homes
Industry: Construction
Country: Canada
As Canada’s largest residential home builder, Peter Gilgan has been building houses for more than 40 years. Gilgan, a former accountant, founded Mattamy Homes, an Ontario-based home builder and real estate company, in 1978. Today, the company is the largest private homebuilder in North America, having constructed more than 100,000 homes in Canada and the U.S. Along the way, Gilgan—who has an estimated net worth of US$4 billion, according to Forbes—has emerged as one of Canada’s most generous philanthropists. In June 2019, he donated $100 million to Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, which is going toward building a new patient care tower — one of many such gifts he’s made. 2 replies
