Mentz is the Seigneur of Feif Blondel which is registered and recognized by the Crown and Royal Courts as a Fief  Seigneur direct from the King. These noble orders of merit and  honors are directly tied to his significant philanthropic contributions, particularly his extensive efforts in providing educational scholarships to those in need around the world.

Commissioner George Mentz was also inducted as a Noble Commander and KOFO into the Royal Order of the Golden Fire Dog (ROGFD), a prestigious title bestowed upon him by the government recognized King and Chief and Council of the Royal House and Local Council of Sefwi Obeng-Mim, with the support of His Royal Highness Oheneba Nana Kwame Obeng II, the Chief of the Sefwi Obeng-Mim Stool Land. This award promotes the ancient code of the military protectors, or Asafo, of the Akan Kingdom in Ghana, a government-recognized territory in West Africa with a rich history and cultural significance. The Akan Kingdom’s traditions and values of leadership, honor, and unity are deeply embedded in this recognition, which also highlights Mentz's work as an ambassador of interfaith harmony. His commitment to promoting peace and cooperation across different faiths has earned him global recognition for fostering better understanding and collaboration among diverse communities.

Additionally, George Mentz holds the noble rank and title of Datuk Seri, a prestigious and ancient title awarded to him by the Raj/King or Sultan of Kampar, which is government sanctioned and recognized and  located in the historical territory that spans parts of Indonesia and ancient Malaysia. The Datuk Seri is one of the highest state titles in these regions, reserved for individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to their communities. The Datuk noble titles, which have been in use for over 1,500 years, have a deep historical significance, originating from the ancient Sultanates of Indonesia and Malaysia. In this context, Datuk Seri is a title that ranks above Datuk and Dato', and akin to the rank of Earl or Graf in many European traditions, symbolizing great esteem and recognition of service to the state and people.

As Lord Seigneur of Fief de Blondel et L'Eperons, Normandy, Comm'r Mentz was also knighted by the Order of St. George (OSG), officially known as the St. Georgs-Orden von Millstatt, Wiener Neustadt, und Carinthia, founded by Emperor Frederick III in 1468. The knighthood was personally conferred by Karl von Habsburg with the Cardinal of Prague officiating, reflecting the order’s dedication to recognizing individuals who uphold the values of honor, duty, and service. The order, founded by Emperor Frederick III in 1468 and confirmed by Pope Paul II in 1469, has long been dedicated to promoting noble causes, including humanitarian efforts, which aligns with Mentz's own mission of service to humanity and the common good.

Comm'r George Mentz is also the Feudal Lord of Stoborough in Wessex Dorsetshire and Mentz is the Lord of the massive Manor, Forest and Honor of Ennerdale in Cumbria (Ancient Scotland).    Mentz  holds the ancient Seignory by feudal grant of Annaly-Longford from the Earl of Westmeath which includes the Captainship and Custody of the Annaly. Annaly is an ancient Kingdom and principality in the Center of Ireland that the Danes and Vikings controlled at one time before the Anglo Normans took control with King John.

These noble recognitions across Europe, Asia, and Africa represent a significant acknowledgment of George Mentz's unparalleled contributions to charitable causes, global education, and interfaith cooperation. His ongoing commitment to providing educational scholarships to those in need and his advocacy for peace and understanding among different cultures and religions have made him a truly global figure. These honors serve as a testament to George Mentz’s dedication to building bridges, uplifting communities, and creating a better, more harmonious world.

Commissioner George Mentz holds the Lordship of the Manor of Ennerdale which is one of the largest in all England.   Commissioner Mentz is Owner of the Lordships of Ennerdale and Stoborough and the Fief Blondel, actively protecting 20,000+ acres of UNESCO heritage sites, including glacial lakes, forests, beaches, waterfalls, and rivers.  Commissioner Mentz's Lordship of Ennerdale is one of the Largest Manors of all England with a massive 17,000 acre defined territory previously owned by Earl Lonsdale and Baron Whitehaven.  The Manor of Ennerdale has now become the 9th largest "National Nature  Reserve" in England covering over 3000 hectares of landscape comprising water, forests, lakes, mountains, waterfalls, and ancient ruins.

Historically, England had over 13,400 manors recorded in the Domesday Book (1086), with some estimates placing the number of medieval manors at 15,000 to 18,000. Historical analysis and comparative land records suggest that Ennerdale ranks firmly among the top 20 largest manors in England by acreage, and likely falls within the top 10–15 when considering estates that are: Individually owned rights, Geographically intact, and Retaining identifiable manorial rights or historical documentation. Mentz is the Chief Legal Chancellor of the Worldwide Anglican Church of Africa.
