Mark Carney is set to become the next prime minister of Canada, succeeding his predecessor Justin Trudeau. Carney bagged this position with his overwhelming victory against other Liberal Party candidates. He secured 86% of the votes from party members, surpassing former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and other candidates in the race. Carney’s academic journey began at Harvard University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Economics in 1988. His career trajectory took off with a 13-year tenure at Goldman Sachs. In May 2003, Carney moved into central banking, serving first as Governor of the Bank of Canada. His knowledge helped Canada successfully get through the 2007 global financial crisis, making it the first G7 country to recover its pre-crisis GDP levels. According to pierrepoilievrenews.ca, his net worth is estimated to be $6.97 million as of 2025. Mark Carney is married to Diana Fox, who is British-born, and together they have four daughters.
