Happy to be fleecing the sheep who leave the folds of the multi-billion dollar "established" empires - like WTBTS.
Shocking when jesus only had the clothes on his back and encouraged a simple life and when a rich man asked him how to get everlasting life jesus told him to sell his belongings and give to the poor.
A very mixed bunch , some obviously gained wealth from being authors and nothing is said in the article about any ' good works ' that they might do with their money .
Others who have mega wages from the donations of church members.. mmm not sure about that .
Certainly donations to churches in the UK are nothing like those in megachurches in the US . They are mostly used for building upkeep ( many UK churches, like mine , are very old ) . Also we pay for our Parish administrator and give donations to charities.

I'm not convinced by their figures. Especially the ones for Osteen and Joyce Meyer. Those look seriously low. And the figure for Kenneth Copeland? Laughable! That bastard himself brags that God made him a billionaire.
As to the one and two million dollar net worth after forty or so years in a ministry: So what? It could mean that the family home that they bought all those years ago happened to be in the right suburb for the property boom.
