Angeles Duran, a woman from Spain, has laid claim to the Sun. She argues that there's no international law to prevent her action:

Angeles Duran, 49, told the online edition of daily El Mundo she took the step in September after reading about an American man who had registered himself as the owner of the moon and most planets in our solar system.
There is an international agreement which states that no country may claim ownership of a planet or star, but it says nothing about individuals, she added.
"There was no snag, I backed my claim legally, I am not stupid, I know the law. I did it but anyone else could have done it, it simply occurred to me first."

Get a life.
Oh, hang on... wait a minute...
Or have they regen'd since then?
.
And I have a little time buying the idea that she's done appropriate upkeep all these years. Per some jurisdictions, the property could be considered derelict and sold at auction, because she clearly cannot afford all the property taxes.
Well we can argue that point, dearie...
The Internet disagrees.
In 2005, The Shannon Burke Show-- broadcast via Clear Channel Radio-- interviewed me about my ownership of the sun. This was broadcast to over 250,000 listeners in Florida, USA and countless XM Radio listeners around the globe.
It is very likely this woman or someone she knows has heard my story, because almost all the elements are plagiarised. The Spanish womans asserts that she began her ownership in September, 2010, seven years after I exacted the same scheme.
For now, go make me a sandwich
