Here's a riddle: what do you get when you cross a mythical fire-breathing dragon with a man-eating shark?
The answer: one of the most ferocious talents on CBC television - Kevin O'Leary, aka 'Mr. Wonderful'.
You know him well from 'Dragons' Den', 'Shark Tank' (in the U.S.) and as the blunt and controversial side of the CBC business show, 'The Lang & O'Leary Exchange'.
Kevin secured his fortune back in 1999 when he sold his software company to Mattel for a staggering sum in the ballpark of $4 billion.
His ruthless style has made him a success on television and in business, but his single-minded pursuit of wealth almost cost him his marriage and that signature O'Leary charm has more than once landed him in hot water.
But do you have to be abrasive to achieve greatness? Does tough love raise better kids? Now, Kevin's gathered some of the lessons he's learned over the years in a new book: 'Cold Hard Truth on Men, Women & Money'.
'Dragons' Den airs on Sundays at 8pm on CBC television.
