"Calvin Ayre was on the cover of Forbes' 'world's wealthiest people' issue last week and the business magazine says he's worth in excess of $1 billion US.
"It's a long way from the pig farm near Lloydminster where he spent his early years, although Ayre, 44, insists he hasn't changed much.
" Gambling is illegal in Costa Rica and it was reported police thought Ayre was hosting a poker tournament.
"However, Ayre said he was actually hosting a wrap-up event after shooting the latest episode of a realty TV show about poker.
" Police did not arrest Ayre, but he said they confiscated his laptop computer and ate food put out for his guests "
