They are all pretty rich, except perhaps the muslim churches which aren't allowed to make collections.
Since it is a world-wide religion, I think the Catholic church must be the richest.
But of course a religion cannot be rich in terms of money, only the churches can be rich!

Scientology if you can call it a religion or if you want enlightenment you can join my sect "The Brotherhood of Dwowhayaskaj" which hopes to be the richest very soon. It only cost $200 which is cheap for enternal life with a million virgins.

I think the more important question is which religion is going to make you rich in God's love both here on earth and throughout eternity.

But I'm not a big fan of religion. I prefer a relationship with my personal savior Jesus Christ.

On the assumption of living religions, my perspective would be the amalgamation of religions in a space confines of countries that has the potential to give rise to borrowed ideas and practices. I would hazard ancient India, known as India and Pakistan today, which has infused traditions of ancient Greek and Roman Gods and mythology of ages past in its present form.

Sikhism, Ayyavazhi, Buddhism and Jainism are Indian-born religious systems influential in India and across the world, as is Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and the Bahá'í Faith. Atheism and agnostics are also visible influences. The extent as illustrated below:

Judaism was one of the first religions to arrive in India and assimilate with local traditions through cultural diffusion, of which others are descendants of Israel's Lost Ten Tribes.

I'm not sure sure what came later, but Hinduism, based on the Vedas, is a direct descendant of the Vedic religion. Hinduism evolved from a monolithic religion into a multitude of traditions over 1500 years. It encompasses religious rituals that vary in practice, of diverse sects and philosophies. All manifestations of the one Supreme monistic Brahman, are venerated. Thus, Hinduism is often misconceived to be a polytheistic religion, although the belief in a singular, Universal Soul is a fundamental tenet of the Hindu faith.

Buddhism, or Buddha Dharma, originated in northern India from the state of Bihar. The mix of Hindu and Buddhist societies in India and the rise of Hindu Vedanta movements began to compete against Buddhism, with subsequent enjoining of both beliefs. Many Indian Buddhist populations remained intact in or migrated to places like Sri Lanka, Tibet, and other Asian countries. More recently,"neo-Buddhists", Vajrayana Buddhists of Ladakh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, a small number of tribal peoples in the region of Bengal, and Tibetan refugees. Jainism, along with Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism, is one of the four major Dharma religions originating in India. Additionally, Ayyavazhi is perceived an offshoot section of Hinduism.

Christianity supposedly arrived in India in the first century. It was further consolidated by the arrival of Syriac Jewish-Christians now known as Knanaya people. The ancient Christian community is known as Nasrani or Syrian Christian, also known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and referred to as Saint Thomas Christians. Roman Catholicism reached India when the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrived on the Malabar coast.

In contrast, the arrival of Islam shaped Northern Indian classical music (Hindustani, enjoining Indian and Middle Eastern elements) and encouraged Urdu literature (a mix of Hindi, Arabic and Persian languages). The Taj Mahal, is such a contribution of the Mughals.

Finally, Persian religion Zoroastrianism, whose practitioners in modern day are called Parsis. Persecution from Muslim rulers in what is now modern-day Iran, Zoroastrian immigrants came seeking protection.

So generally, it seems that an environment in which many ideas are allowed to flourish without social and authoritative sanction, has a good change to evolve into a religion.
