I had a bet with a friend. He says that the largest owner of land in the world is the Roman Catholic church. I bet that that its Macdonalds. Anyone comming first with credible reference for this bet gets selected for the best answer. Don't waste my time if you can't back up your reply. Oh yes, I don't mind even if I'm wrong or if both of us are mistaken.

This is a guinnes book record listed in 1966 that has not been broken. The largest land holder is the United States Government. See below link.

I seriously doubt if it is McDonalds corporation. I'm sure McD's leases locations in major cities (NYC etc). The franchise owners may own the land on which they built their restaurants.
If I had to guess, I would say the US Government would beat McD's. Consider all the national parks and US Military bases plus federal buildings throughout the US.

I would guess the US Government...seeing as they own all the national parks and monument areas which take up an enormous amount of space, add to that all the federal buildings, arlington national cemetary, all the military bases....yep...US Gov't.
