Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier 2: a commercial real estate trade publication's report, read directly, relaying the Hollywood Reporter's own reporting that the Church of Scientology confirmed to it buying 62 properties globally between 2006 and 2011, and citing real estate industry sources for a further estimate of about 300 million US dollars in Los Angeles and Hollywood properties alone. The article states plainly that the true size of the church's worldwide portfolio is unknown; this is the clearest documented figure available, not a claimed total.
