Like it said in the documentary, they are down to only 50,000 active members.
Which begs the question, where does the money come from? Their real estate in downtown Clearwater FL is valued at over $1 billion alone. Not more than a handful of those 50,000 members have the wealth of a Travolta or Cruise. So who's footing the bill?

They've been collecting $$$ since the 80s when they had a bigger following and they've been buying the property since then and the value has just gone up over time.

they've been scamming people for 40 years
they have not paid taxes to the IRS
50,000 members is nothing to shake a stick at...50,000 members at let's just say $2,000 per year is $100,000,000...tax free. It's safe to assume with the sizeable donations they strong arm out of their members (the one guy said he paid them $200,000 dollars in one donation, and he's a nobody compared to guys like cruz, Travolta, or even millionaires like kirstie alley.
obviously their assets have appreciated over time as well. Their costs are pretty low since they have the sea org to whom they pay as close to nothing as you can get.
