The international couple, who Ryan say split their time between Europe and New York City and are self-made, also bought the lot next door for an additional $7,500,000 to build a guest house and tennis courts.

The buyers were able to purchase the home because Whistler is exempt from a new law that prohibits foreigners from buying homes in Canada.

Theyโ€™re talking kind of three months in the summer and two to three weeks in the winter for skiing.

To drop 32 million on a house (which is mind bogglingly in and of itself) and only spend three months in it? Motherfuckers out there with way too much goddamn money. That's ridiculous.

Yup. $39.5 mil when you include they purchased the lot next door too.

Never mind the fact the gov't didn't include Whistler in the new foreign ownership rules. ๐Ÿ˜
