Joel Osteen

Since 1999, Joel Osteen has been an active televangelist of Lakewood Church, after succeeding his father. During his time, he made his church known worldwide thanks to the preaching abilities he inherited from his father. His denomination is always flocked by brethren who want to listen to his biblical teachings. He is known for preaching because he is also an author and made numerous books full of optimism, just like his debut book, Your Best Life Now.

Thanks to his supporters’ patronage, those books he published over the years were able to earn him a large amount of wealth, amounting to about $100 million. With that profit, Joel Osteen bought two mansions worth $10.5 million, and another one located in Tanglewood, Houston, Texas, is worth $2.9 million. He won’t have to worry about such expenses given his net worth, and he surely does not need to take out a loan to afford a lavish lifestyle.
