Rob Ford, Date of Birth, Place of Birth, Age, Net Worth, Biography

Robert Bruce Ford (May 28, 1969 – March 22, 2016) was a Canadian politician and businessman who served as the 64th Mayor of Toronto from 2010 to 2014.
Before and after his term as mayor, Ford was a city councillor representing Ward 2 of Etobicoke North.
He was first elected to Toronto City Council in the 2000 Toronto municipal election, and was re-elected to his council seat twice. His political career, particularly his mayoralty, saw a number of personal and work-related controversies and legal proceedings.
In 2013, he became embroiled in a substance abuse scandal, which was widely reported in the national and international media.
Following his admission, Ford refused to resign, but City Council handed over certain mayoral powers and office staff to Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly for the remainder of Ford's term.
Ford took a sabbatical and received treatment for his alcohol and drug addiction.
Despite the scandal, Ford initially contested the next mayoral election, scheduled for October 2014, but after being hospitalized and diagnosed with an abdominal tumour in September 2014, Ford withdrew from the mayoral race and registered instead to run for his old city council seat.
John Tory succeeded him as mayor on December 1, 2014, while Ford regained his former seat.
Ford received treatment for the cancer, and was able to return briefly to City Hall, but died in March 2016 after chemotherapy was ineffective.
