They are also not carte blanche tax exempt, the church if it doesn't use its investment each year for charity is likely to loose its exempt status.

Monday’s Washington Post story about the finances of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has already gotten a lot of attention. We think it deserves more.
Not because the topic of church holdings is somehow new — it’s not (Time magazine once ran a cover story titled, “Mormons, INC.”) — but because the renewed focus on the church’s extensive holdings once again proves that, well, the church actually practices what it preaches regarding provident living and self-reliance. They take seriously the biblical story about Joseph and Egypt’s seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine.
If it’s such good news and praise worthy, why was it kept a secret? When was the last time the Church described its holdings as “extensive”? I’m guessing, never.

“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
It's all okay. Spoiler Alert. This is all just FAKE NEWS. I went to KSL.com and their is no Story about the Mormon Corporation and the supposed $100 Billion dollar investment fund. Just a comforting story about Rusty the Tin Man giving a Xmas message with some youtuber.
Whew! Crisis averted.

So Rusty Nelson is the richest man on Earth. The Prophet is the Profit in very deed. All of these affiliation fraud hustlers are only following the inspiration to riches that have distinguished this corrupt cluster from the very beginning. Wolves feasting on sheep while the sheep bleat about how blessed they are.
I think it demonstrates that the church is expecting no freebie miracles from God in fulfilling it’s mission. It has to pay Mammon for miracles like everyone else.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

Doctor Scratch wrote:What I have to wonder is about the timeline of all of this. The article has a top executive talking about how this accumulation is meant to be for the Second Coming. So, okay: let's take that remark at face value. When are they predicting that Christ is going to come back? Is it 2050--just to rely on the figure you mention? And so they want $1 trillion....why, exactly? We all know what the scriptures say about what's going to happen with Christ returns: it's not going to be pretty--just ask your aunt in Parowan, who recently came home with a flyer from Relief Society that told her about how she needs to get cracking on building that solar oven, because things are going to be tough as hell during the latter days. So, if people are really going to have to rough it like that--boiling their water just to survive, and cooking hardtack in solar ovens and that kind of thing: using rocks to grind up the bags of wheat that they socked away--then what is the $1 trillion for? Is it just evidence to Jesus and Heavenly Father that Church leaders were working extra hard?
Especially when that $1 trillion is tucked away in non-liquid assets that will likely be destroyed in the second coming.
Mormon 8:37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.
39 Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?
Nielsen told Ensign in a resignation letter dated Aug. 29 that his employment had become unworkable after his wife and children left the Mormon Church and asked him to follow them, according to a copy of the letter provided by Lars Nielsen. David Nielsen offered to continue working until Oct. 4.
