Canadian real estate businessman Mitchell Goldhar has an estimated net worth of $1.81 billion as of April 2016 according to Forbes.

In the 1990's, Mitchell Goldhar reportedly visited the owner of Wal-mart stores, Sam Walton, to negotiate on developing Wal-Mart Stores in Canada. Initially, Walton declined Goldhar's proposal but due to the latter's tenacity, the former decided to give it a try. Eventually, Goldhar became the de facto developer of Wal-Mart in Canada.

In addition to being a businessman, Mitchell Goldhar is also known for his significant contributions to Brain Campaign for the Canadian Sports Concussion Project which he recently gave $1 billion CAD. It is a research project which seeks to identify the unknowns of repetitive concussions that affected many Canadian athletes.
