They are going to the Ivy League Universities there and I think
they believe the contacts you make in places like that will lead
to better success later than a lesser known school making it
worth the extra cost.

I'm not sure about their tax situation. The father is a Very
high ranking person for McDonalds and they arrange odd things
for them wherever they lived. They were never penalized for
not spending enough time in Canada and maybe pay their taxes
to Canada rather than the country they are working in.

Actually the taxes in the USA might be lower when you're
making $Millions a year..

In the past he was the CFO for McDonalds in Eastern Europe and
then later CFO for Asia, and now he is one of the top people in
North America (higher than CFO), which is the most prestigious
place to work for them.
