- N. Murray Edwards derives much of his fortune from stakes in Canadian oil and mining companies.
- His largest investments include oil sands miner Canadian Natural Resources, aerospace firm Magellan and a minority stake in the NHL's Calgary Flames.
- A lawyer by training, Edwards made the jump to business at age 28 after promising a dying friend that he would always pursue his passions.
- He started a merchant bank with partners in the late 1980's, but they spent half their initial capital on digging a natural gas well that came up dry.
- Edwards then switched gears and diversified from exploration to investing in existing oil and gas assets.
- Edwards worked four nights a week during high school as a hockey referee.
- The Saskatchewan native also worked as a garbage crew member and once had a summer job at a beer factory that gave him unlimited beer during his breaks.
