- The owner was of Indian descent but was born in Kenya.
After graduating from the University of West London, he had just returned to East Africa when the Ugandan president Idi Amin expelled his country's South Asian minority in 1972.
Living in neighbouring Kenya, He decided to move in case "some Idi Amin type of guy comes in and makes you a beggar overnight," he said in a 2012 interview.
He came to Canada in 1975, where, confronted by the cold and the snow, he said he couldn't think of any other business opportunities but to manufacture fire logs.
"When I got into the fire log business it was a big thing to be macho. Get a chainsaw and cut your own wood and bag it yourself," he said in the 2012 interview.
Instead, he offered convenient products that ignited easily and were made from inexpensive sawdust and wax.
His Toronto-based company, became North America's biggest manufacturer of fire logs.
His companies also have made glue sticks, stationery tapes and mailing supplies. He has now shifted his interests to being a financial backer for technology startups.
According to the architect who designed his house, the property was built in 2005 and includes two outdoor tennis courts, an indoor swimming pool, a home theatre and a five-car garage.
This home is an amazing example of peak rich and luxury in the mid 2000’s.
This Palace should not be torn down. Why would the developers want to do this. This mansion is perfectly fine the way it is. This demolition is totally unacceptable
I just can't believe how wasteful people are. Beautiful mansion.
It’s disgusting to rip this house down. Millionaires, Hollywood etc love to preach to us about saving the environment and global warming but then they do things like this and get away with. It should not be allowed. This is so wasteful. This mega mansion is gorgeous
It’s criminal to demolish a beautiful home like this that’s only 20 years old, I have socks older than that. I hope they salvage some of the beautiful woodwork and the doors and cabinets. They have more money than scents.
I saw this one about a week ago that someone else posted, my thought from last week was "I wished Ethan would post this to do it justice". You aren't disappointing, love your attention to detail.
What a stunning mansion, it's so clean for abandoned. Such a shame to tear it down, it's so gorgeous, just needs repairs...People have more money than brains, apparently...
Tearing down a 20,000 sq ft mansion that’s less than 20!years old to build a-excuse me while I throw up-bigger mansion? That is so ridiculous I cant even!! Such waste. But what an explore. Glad you found this one.
It’s absolutely criminal this getting destroyed there is no reason whatsoever. So angering!
People in NYC pay thousands of dollars for an apartment that size of a closet... crazy.
I am 50 yrs old but yea I'd have to touch the button that says don't touch lol love the house such a shame owner didn't appreciate it or that anybody would tear down ty ethan u do the best walk thrus of anyone on utube❤
Those ceilings are gorgeous. Such a waste 😞
Would love to see the monthly utility bill for one of these places 🤯
Wow just amazing. I would love to be a guest in that house for a few days. I would probably be afraid to break something. Thank you Ethan for the description and story of the owner. Great job as always stay safe.
Id be pushing on walls and pulling sconces to find secret passages 😂
Why not open the door and say “Welcome to my crib”?
What a beautiful home, I honestly would not want a house like this.
Beautiful house. Just stunning. Rumor has it is that the guy who lives behind wants the property to expand his house. I remember that house you mentioned Ethan. You pasted 2 photos of it getting demoed. Sucks.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The commentary throughout the master bedroom had me dyin😂😂
What a waste. This mansion is unbelievable beautiful. I cant imagine this is being torn down. I love the marble floors. Saying what's up never get's old. Another great find.
Awesome find Ethan 😎
