JOEL OSTEEN – EST. $100 MILLION
Joel Osteen established a reputation as the pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston; Texas passed through his father, who was also a pastor. He is a preacher, televangelist, and author, who now has a net worth of $100 million. So, where did he get his wealth? He calls it mostly from his book sales, radio show, and public speaking salaries. His church collection reportedly reaches over $70 million per year in total revenue. Suppose you ask Osteen about his vast income. In that case, he will tell you that having material wealth is not something to be guilty about, as long as it has been earned relatively. He also clears that he is not receiving any salary from the church. With his net worth, he probably has an investment of some sort. He and his family live in a 17000 square foot mansion in Houston with an estimation of $10.5 million. He often stated that he praises and thank God for the acquired wealth. So it’s safe to say that he won’t take it for granted and get into bankruptcy or even debts in the future.
