In India, there are slumdog millionaire(s), billionaires on the world's richest list and also billionaire Gods. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TD), the keeper of the famed Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh recently declared its net worth for the first time since its founding in 1933. 

The amount will leave your mouth open:

 

This wealth is more than:

  • >Wipro's market value
  • >Nestle India's market value 
  • >ONGC's market value
  • >IOC's (IndianOil Corporation) market value  

Good luck counting the zeroes!

Visitors: Lord Venkateshwara's abode receives some 50,000 to 1 lakh visitors every day.

Unaccounted: The declared wealth of Lord Venkateshwara may be jaw-dropping, but it doesn't exactly take into consideration everything. So, likely the amount is much more. 

  • There are priceless antique jewellery and properties at the Tirupati temple providing amenities to devotees that are not considered in the official net worth of the temple or the God. 

The Tirupati temple is among some of the richest temples in India. The Padmanabhaswamy temple in Kerala is also known for its immense wealth and more so, for the mysterious unopened vaults in the temple.
