What is the net worth of the Vatican?

Answer 1

The Vatican assets cannot be calculated because the Church is very good at keeping its secrets. The Vatican owns in Italy 20-22% of the total real estate! We are talking several billions euros and in Italy only. Nobody knows exactly how much the IOR (the Vatican Bank) is worth because its activity covered by secret, protected by the italian laws.

Answer 2

Estimates are more than $50 billion. Truly disgusting to hoard all of that wealth while preaching to help others less fortunate.

my father told me only yesterday that there has been a report that states the vatican has so much gold, that they dont know what to do with it.....might be a good idea to give some to the people they sexually abused....some chance?

Answer 3
