Why isn't Monson included with the wealthiest Americans list?

OK, help me out here if i'm in error.

The LDS Church is a Corporate Sole. Everything is held by and under the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - which basically means that the President of the church owns it. Right?

If this is so, then the LDS Church President then has a net worth of billions of dollars. Right?

So if this is true, why isn't the current LDS President, Prophet, Seer and Revelator ever included with the Warren Buffets and Bill Gates of the world?

Just wonderin.

very good question

Didn't Forbes estimate the church being worth 60-70 Billion?

So what does the Corp own...ward houses or business- what?

Does the Corp of the presiding bishoprick own everything or just some things.. I'd like to see if maybe he is up there with gates and buffet and get him properly credited with being one of the wealthiest men in the USA

Technically and literally he is richer than Gates & Buffet combined .... who as we know both have more money than anyone but God.

Wonder if TBMs ever ponder that thought when their prophet chastises them financially to the poor house.

Nevertheless, as Steve has shown us, in practical reality the autopen is mightier than the sword. Tom's vast personal wealth is subject to manipulators unknown.

As Corporate Sole-

As Corporate Sole, Thom is technically the only member of the church.
THE COJCOLDS is only a trademark of the Corporation of the President.

The Corporation of the Presiding Bishopric is a subsidiary which manages all of the materiel and finances.

And as for the membership, it does not really exist except as data in the Intellectual Reserve, Inc.

People just willingly contribute to the Corporate Sole in time money and support, all the while never knowing that they are really just a fan base.
