2. The Catholic Church: 71.6 million hectares
The Catholic Church is estimated to hold an incredible 71.6 million hectares of land in its bulging real estate portfolio, an area larger than France, according to The New Statesman. Needless to say, the Holy See is the second-largest non-government landowner in the world, with vast swathes of land in countries from Germany to India.
1. Queen Elizabeth II: 2.7 billion hectares
By far the world's largest non-governmental landowner, Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the British Commonwealth and therefore legal owner of around 2.7 billion hectares of land, as estimated by The New Statesman. That's as much as one-sixth of the earth’s land surface. The Crown Estate includes prime chunks of London, massive tracts of agricultural land in rural Britain and more than half the UK's foreshore. The Crown also owns over 90% of land in Canada, where Queen Elizabeth II is head of state. However, the land cannot be sold by the Queen and is not considered her private property.
