    Sounds like bullshit ngl number of mormons (17 million) times the average american net worth (1 million) = 17 trillion.

    Does the temple literally own half the wealth of their congregation?

      They collect a tithe of 10% of members’ income from the entire congregation. Most people accumulate less than 10% of their income as net worth annually

      So yes, quite possibly they do.
