If Joseph Smith was alive today, would he be among the most wealthy of enterpreneurs? Perhaps the one who created the most popular new global trend of traveling to a home somewhere far away, and staying in the stead of the husband or wife for a couple weeks, complete with every benefit of said sacred responsibility?

What finer way for sharing the glorious gospel with every nation, kindred, tongue and people?

Brother, where art thou?

Anything is possible, but I don't see him as being any more wealthy than a preacher like joel olstein. Both are good at fleecing the flock. But as for investments, the stories say old Joe wasn't good with money. Take for instance from the history of the church when he escaped far west jail after four months of torture, He had lost his house, had gone bankrupt, walked bare foot to Missouri. Emma had gone with Brigham Young shortly before and the first thing Joseph did when he arrived was take what little there was of the tithing money and buy very expensive clothes for Emma and himself, petticoats and everything. He spent money like water.

Yes. Joseph and Bernie Madoff would talk about how easy it was for them to scam people.

my thoughts too

And L. Ron Hubbard.

he'd be in the Carthage Jail again.

"Brother, where art thou?"

In the Playboy Mansion?

he'd be a cell mate of warren jeffs. If he isn't prosecuted he'd be like hugh hefner, or a photographer of 14 and under child models

Hugh Hefner has enabled 1,203 young women to obtain college degrees. No other Mormon leader can boast of this track record. He has outlived most General Authorities (average) and lives a daily fitness regimen of health that far exceeds most males in any nation. He is a model of moderation, achievement and historical significance.

“It's perfectly clear to me that religion is a myth. It's something we have invented to explain the inexplicable. My religion and the spiritual side of my life come from a sense of connection to the humankind and nature on this planet and in the universe. I am in overwhelming awe of it all: It is so fantastic, so complex, so beyond comprehension. What does it all mean -- if it has any meaning at all? But how can it all exist if it doesn't have some kind of meaning? I think anyone who suggests that they have the answer is motivated by the need to invent answers, because we have no such answers.”

― Hugh Hefner

He would be on the corner of the street smoking rocks and telling peoples fortunes and being a pimp of underage girls.

I don't think Joseph would be as wealthy as Joel Osteen if he were alive today. Even if Joseph managed to accrue any wealth, I suspect he'd lose it all in a double-or-nothing scheme.

Let's see a person who makes up stories, lies, makes outrages promises, from New York, who has had multiple wives, an American nationalist, racist, head of a military, builds big buildings, has bankrupted businesses, started scam businesses, money is the measure of success, believes in fake publication, is highly charismatic, has dedicated followers no matter the outrageous claims and no matter the evidence; who does not supposedly drink but often acts so bizarre that you wonder if he is on drugs, narcissistic traits and he ran for president.

Who could this be?
A reincarnation?
Or is this just another conartist?

He would be residing at the grey bar apartments at the Point of the Mountain.

This is so gay.

...make bail?

The internet, instant communication, linked-up national law enforcement, DNA testing, and better transportation might mean earlier detection and prosecution.
