Angeles Durán shows the alleged cards of his “purchase”.
When looking for media coverage, breaking ideas are often a good ally. but the Spanish Maria Angeles Duran she spared no exaggeration: she declared herself “owner” of the sun.
This unusual story features this Spanish citizen, who claims he has an ownership document after taking advantage of a legal loophole. For this, in 2010, he obtained a notarial deed declaring him to be the sole owner of the Sun. “Owner of the Sun, a star of spectral type G2, which is located at the center of the Solar System,” the document states. The case was known in 2013 and continues to generate noise on social networks.
Originally from the city of Vigo, Durán is a psychologist, writer and lawyer. Her knowledge of the latter profession helped her find that supposed legal loophole to take over the Sun.
The Spanish woman “owner” of the sun.
He discovered this peculiarity when he was writing one of his books “A Story of Three, You, Me and Alzheimer’s” and found on the Internet the case of a Dennis Hope, an American who in 1980 found a legal loophole and claimed to own the Moon. Both were based on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which prevents governments from claiming ownership of celestial bodies, but doesn’t specify anything about individuals.
After “being” with the Sun, he says he has started “selling” plots. However, the eBay site removed her post.

Then, in 2015, she had a new and unusual legal situation when a group of people recognized Durán as the owner of the Sun, but sued her for sun damage to her skin. Although her demands for her were never successful, in November 2021 the woman made another particular decision: she wanted to tax the entire human race for the use of the sun.
“I know the law and have legally supported my request. I did, but anyone could have done it. He came to me first. When you have a property, it makes sense to use it. Electricity companies benefit from rivers, which belong to everyone, so I hope to exploit the sun, ”said the entrepreneur.

According to what he said, what he collects will be distributed as follows: 50% to the Spanish government, 20% to a pension fund in that country, 10% for research and the remaining 10% would go into his pocket.
Durán, in 2008, had already initiated a particular lawsuit with the General Society of Authors and Publishers after having recorded in his name the cry of Tarzan, but the demand did not thrive.
