MoneyWise | Jonathan Goodman Jon Goodman built a $35M fitness education empire from a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto, never raised a dollar, never sold a company, and never left Canada — even though the government takes 53 cents of every dollar he earns above a certain threshold. In this episode, Jon breaks down exactly where his $14M net worth lives, why he found his "safe number" at $7M, how he spends $22-25K a month across Toronto and six months abroad every year, and why he thinks moving to a tax haven is a rich person's dumbest game.
