He doesn't own Boston Pizza. It's Jim Treliving, one of the other guys on Dragon's Den, who owns Boston Pizza. O'Leary owns an investment firm. But yeah, O'leary does come across as an asshole on the show. Part of me thinks it's just for entertainment value. He's also on Shark Tank the American version of Dragon's Den.
