He beats Joseph Smith (but not Brigham Young) in the number of wives. And I think he beats both of them in the number of children!

From the article:

"GUWAHATI, India (Reuters) - The more, the merrier is certainly true for Ziona Chana, a 66-year-old man in India's remote northeast who has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren -- and wouldn't mind having more....

"I once married 10 women in one year," he was quoted as saying....

The family, all 167 of them, consumes around 91 kg (200 pounds) of rice and more than 59 kg (130 pounds) of potatoes a day. They are supported by their own resources and occasional donations from followers....

He heads a local Christian religious sect, called the "Chana," which allows polygamy. Formed in June 1942, the sect believes it will soon be ruling the world with Christ and has a membership of around 400 families."

Doesn't this sound like the secret dreams of LDS leadership and the not-so-secret realities of the FLDS?
