A woman from Spain had registered the Sun as her property.
Ms Angeles Duran, 49, registered it after reading about an American man who registered the moon and most planets in our Solar System as his property.
There is an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals.
Ms Duran, said that she wants to charge everyone who uses the sun and give half of the money earned to the Spanish government, twenty percent to the nation pension fund, 10 percent to research and another ten percent to end world hunger, keeping the remaining 10 percent for herself.
