WHO OWNS THE WORLD :
(THE HIDDEN FACTS BEHIND LANDOWNERSHIP)
Kevin Cahill
Mainstream Publishing.
The largest landowner on earth is revealed in Mainstreams new book Who Owns the World, published this week.
Queen Elizabeth 11, head of state of the United Kingdom and of 31 other states and territories, is the legal owner of about 6,600 million acres of land, one sixth of the earths non ocean surface.
She is the only person on earth who owns whole countries, and who owns countries that are not her own domestic territory. This land ownership is separate from her role as head of state and is different from other monarchies where no such claim is made Norway, Belgium, Denmark etc.
Value of her land holding. £17,600,000,000,000 (approx)
This makes her the richest individual on earth. However, there is no way to easily value her real estate. There is no current market in the land of entire countries. At a rough estimate of $5,000 an acre, and based on the sale of Alaska to the USA by the Tsar, and of :Louisiana to the USA by France, the Queens land holding is worth a notional $33,000,000,000,000 (Thirty three trillion dollars or about £17,600,000, 000,000 trillion pounds) Her holding is based on the laws of the countries she owns and her land title is valid in all the countries she owns.. Her main holdings are Canada, the 2nd largest country on earth, with 2,467 million acres, Australia, the 7th largest country on earth with 1,900 million acres, the Papua New Guinea with114 million acres, New Zealand with 66 million acres and the UK with 60 million acres.
