In 2015, the family was estimated to have a net worth of $3 billion.[1][2] LifeDavid Fasken was born in 1860 the son of Robert Fasken and Isabel Milne. The Fasken family emigrated from Scotland in 1837 to Elora, Ontario. David was the 5th of ten children and went to school in Elora. He graduated from the University of Toronto in 1882 and pursued law. He later worked at the law firm of William Henry Beatty who mentored him.[2] In 1913, Fasken acquired 226,000 acres for $1.50 an acre in what would later be called Fasken, near Midland, Texas, intending to convert it to a farm. He retired there and ended his law practice in 1919.[3] DeathFasken died on December 2, 1929[4] at the age of 68 leaving behind an estate worth $1,792,300, excluding unknown oil reserves on the land. The Supreme Court of Canada, while interpreting his will, commented that his inheritance was "very substantial". The Toronto Daily Star ran the headline "David Fasken, Wealthy Mining Magnate Dies".[5] Oil was discovered on the property leading to the creation of the Fasken Oil & Ranch company in 1979.[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite web| title = Fasken family| author = | work = Forbes| date = 2015-07-01| access-date = 14 December 2018| url = https://www.forbes.com/profile/fasken/#7e7527dd7668}} 2. ^1 {{Cite web| title = Biography – FASKEN, DAVID – Volume XV (1921-1930)| author = C.
