Ballparking and half-informed guessing, I would say...
Typical congregation of 70 x 100,000 congregations = 7,000,000
so far so good... there's that many Witnesses in the world now...
typical congregation of 70 x $20 monthly contribution = $1,400
which is about what they are in my congregation.
Now 100,000 congregations x $1,400 p.mo. = $140,000,000 p.mo.
as possible income... take away thousands from Third World
countries that can't contribute that much, and add thousands
from a lot of the older ones who have left homes, inheritance
moneys, life insurance policies, etc. to the Watchtower... more
than would make up or at least balance out for 3rd World countries
I think.
So $140,000,000 p.mo. x 12 months = $1,680,000,000 p.yr.
Even half of that would be astronomical, wouldn't it?
A fourth of it even, it's a lot of money!

There's a lot more than monthly contributions and inheritances involved when you also consider the money made at asemblies and the fact that the WB&TS's product is published and distributed with free labor. And if that's not sweet enough, they have a guaranteed customer base.

Plus all the properties they have sold.

Too damn much. If they keep this up, they will seize the governments, and then they will claim ownership to everything (including your home, your computer, etc.) and everyone (including you).
Second Dark Ages anyone? If you don't want to have it happen, I suggest not donating anything to that organization--not even a penny.
