JOEL OSTEEN – EST. $100 MILLION

Joel Osteen is a renowned American preacher and author who gained prominence for his televised preachings and New York Times best-selling books. After inheriting the Lakewood Church from his father, Joel expanded his ministry’s reach by putting some investment money into televising his father’s sermons. His plan worked, as their televised speeches now garner over 10 million viewers in the United States alone. He has worked on the production team of Lakewood Church TV show for 17 years, and the church services are now broadcast in more than 100 countries around the world.

Their members have also increased as more and more foreign individuals show interest in becoming a member of their ministry. In addition to serving as a pastor, Austin is also a best-selling author. His two books Now Your Best Life and Becoming a Better You have attracted the attention of many people. Because Joel has been extremely successful in his career as a pastor and as a public figure, he is now worth over $100 million in net worth.
