The artwork is so valuable it doesn't even have a value.

There are like a billion Catholics you dumbass yes they are rich

I think it's really that rich. It's not all liquid though. They own some of the most priceless works of art, real estate etc on the planet.

Yes.

Isn't the Catholic Church the largest landowner in the world?

Without a doubt.

Imagine the kind of artwork and land you could have acquired if you started 2000 years ago... kinda like a vampire. Vampires are always rich.

Catholics are extremely wealthy.

They are but they were richer before having to pay off tens of thousands of rape victims.

No. I believe that distinction would belong to the federal government of the United States of America.

As far as businesses, I know McDonalds was way up there in terms of real estate, not land.
But they have been downsizing under the new CEO.

Now compare that to how much "federal land" there is in this country. There are several states out west where the fed government owns literally like 70% or more of the land.

1. Queen Elizabeth 6.6 billion acres (1/6 of the land on Earth)
2. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia 531 million acres
3. Catholic Church 177 million acres
