Kevin O'Leary

O'Leary co-founded SoftKey Software Products, a technology company that sold software geared toward family education and entertainment. During the late 1980s and 1990s, SoftKey became a major consolidator in the global educational software market, having acquired rival companies via hostile takeover bids, such as Compton's New Media, the Learning Company, and Broderbund. SoftKey later changed its name to The Learning Company and was acquired by Mattel in 1999, with the sale making O'Leary a multimillionaire. Mattel promptly fired O'Leary, and the acquisition resulted in significant losses and multiple shareholder lawsuits.
In 2017, he campaigned to be the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. He dropped out in April 2017, one month before the election, citing a lack of support in Quebec.
In addition to his native Canadian citizenship, O'Leary also holds Irish and Emirati citizenship. Provided by Wikipedia
