What private organizations have assets which compounded in value over centuries?

European insurance companies. The Hudson Bay Company, maybe?

There are restaurants in the U.S. that are a couple of centuries old. They might own the building by now.

Is the Catholic Church a private organization in this context?

One that surprised me was Fidelity investments. It's huge company held privately by a single family. Not centuries old and probably nowhere near as profitable as Apple though.
