The British royal family (about 24 members), headed by Charles III, theoretically owns 26.7M km2 (10.3M mi2) worldwide, more than three times the size of Brazil, writes BigThink.com (June 16). However, Charles has only symbolic ownership of the territories over which he rules. The next largest landowner is the Church (1.3B members). Estimates are that the Church owns about 716K km2 (277K mi2). That’s bigger than Texas, and twice the size of Germany.
