SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick (AP) — Arthur L. Irving, one of Canada's richest people and the son of industrialist K.C. Irving, has died at 93 after a life spent growing the oil business his father founded.

Irving Oil said in its statement that he died Monday surrounded by his wife, Sandra, and daughter, Sarah.

Forbes Magazine listed Arthur Irving as being among the top 10 richest Canadians in 2023. At the time of his death, he had an estimated net worth of US$6.4 billion, which includes a refinery in New Brunswick that is Canada’s largest, along with the Whitegate refinery in Ireland.
