Who profits every time you buy a Holy Bible?
No, it's not God, or the Church or any not-for-profit religious organization that could use the money, it's really smart business people who use holding companies to acquire profitable assets.
For the NIV (New International Version) Holy Bible, if you follow the money up the pyramid, you first find Zondervan, the largest Christian publisher in the world owns the copyrights. Zondervan is owned by HarperCollins, which is owned by Newscorp (the same company that owns FoxNews, among others), which is owned by the controversial billionaire, and not so Christian, Rupert Murdoch. Note: Rupert recently stepped down as he's aging and now his kids run the company.
The KJV (King James Version) Holy Bible is owned by none other than The Crown, the royal corporation of the royal family of England, which only makes sense as a family ancestor (or more like his writing team) wrote it and put his spin and interpretation on the most sacred of books.
