JOEL OSTEEN – $40M

American pastor and evangelist Joel Osteen rose to fame for his televised sermons. His sermons are viewed by millions of audiences worldwide. Osteen may have not received a degree from a divinity school, but he is successful in founding his church’s television program. He is also the best-selling author of books Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential and Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day. He declared that he relied on his books for his income, as he has no salary as a senior pastor of Lakewood Church.

Joel Osteen and his church recently got a money loan of $4 million dollars. He’ll definitely be able to continue his ministry while being able to provide for his followers. Joel Osteen’s church resumed in-person in October 2020 with strict social distancing and virus prevention protocols. Normal operations should soon take place as a vaccine is under way.
