So, if he tithes, has he given 20 MILLION to his temple? He’s worth 200 MILLION, so I’m guessing that he did....do you know??

Tithing is complicated, its supposed to be a full 10% PLUS a fast offering and other offerings every month. So, if he earned 10 million a year, then yes 1 million would be to the LDS church. It isn’t always in cash, one thing the LDS do is give stock or property as ‘tithe’ to avoid paying taxes on it and for the LDS church to increase their stock holdings. The book “Mormon Corporate Empire” has details on things like that.

If he is worth 200Million and if that is from income, then yes he would have paid over 20 million in tithing but without seeing his tax records, I am just guessing at the value but it would have been 10% MINIMUM for tithing.

My gripe isn’t tithing, it is the spiritual blackmail that the LDS use to get the tithing.
