Imagine a denomination so wealthy it could cover all its current expenses “forever” without a single penny more from congregants.
This is the reality for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, boasting an eye-watering estimated wealth of $321 billion in 2025 and on track for $1 trillion by 2044, according to a report from The Widows Mite.
They’re so wealthy that their investments alone are yielding about $25 billion a year, with 2/3 of church income reallocated to increase that figure further.
The non-Christian cult has so many investments, and its investment portfolio is so vast that it could cover all its expenditures in perpetuity with just a 4.25% annual return on its multi-billion dollar endowment.
The denomination’s wealth is exclusively managed by Ensign Peak Advisors, who were recently fined for hiding a $32 billion portfolio behind a shell corporation.
It’s gotten to the point where when questioned if impoverished church members could be exempt from paying tithes, Elder David A. Bednar said that the church doesn’t need their money, but still believed they should tithe anyway.
One response to “Mormon Church Will Be A $1 Trillion Denomination in 20 Years, Never Need to Collect Tithes Again”
Is the Mormon Church a Corporation? Otherwise how could they accumulate such wealth unless it came from brow beating their congregants into tithing 10% of their earnings, and for what? To build marble white churches that only the most righteous of their Tithers can enter. I used to call it the “Inner Sanctum”
