Certainly not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is quite wealthy for the relatively small number of members that they have (about 14 million worldwide), and for the relatively short time that they have been around (about 180 years) however they are nowhere near the richest church or religious group in the world.

The word "unattainable" captures the sentiment of being close to something but still out of reach.
The Esperanto words for near and far are proksime and malproksime.
