What would you do if you were a billionaire? Personally, I’d set up my own venture capital firm so I could finance all those super-cool Canadian start-ups struggling for some love. If you’re Jim Balsillie (aka Mr. co-Blackberry), you buy a hockey team, the Nashville Predators, for a cool $200-million or so. If you’re Google’s Sergey Brin, you keep your money safely tucked inside your wallet, and get Google to invest $3.9-million in your wife’s bio-tech start-up. Personally, I’d buy the hockey team but, hey, I’m Canadian.
