Jeff. If your take home is say $200 mil after paying all your taxes, you pretty much strapped. Gift Tax: If you have 3 kids, you can only give each child $15,000 a YEAR.

Their kids will certainly enjoy what monies they receive. Doubt Canada has stupid rules like the USA for how much you can give someone...someone enlighten me please.

Anyway great story and congratulations
