The Church in Turin, maybe. And how much do you think the Church makes from the shroud? Give us a number.

Doubtful. It's only exhibited on rare occasions, and there's no charge to see it (charging to see, or otherwise venerate, relics is prohibited), and it costs money to preserve it and protect it, so how do you figure it makes money at all?
