Joel Osteen | Texas | $10.5 Million

The famous television evangelist, pastor, and writer Joel Osteen is one of the most prominent religious community influencers. Joel was never a big religious guy in the past. However, because of his father’s passion for promoting Christianity in their community, their small Lakewood church has evolved into a huge success. It has brought many people to join them in their journey with Christ. As for his net worth, Joel is already worth millions. It isn’t because of his work in the church, though.

The evangelist claims that his financial success rest on the success of his books and religion-based self-help seminars. As for personal endeavors, Pastor Joel lives in an exclusive neighborhood known as River Oaks in his $10.5 million mansion. The house has a Victorian-style design inspired by modern European homes with a touch of natural elements such as the giant stone pillars that gate the front doorway. A respected attorney is definitely needed to take care of the pastor’s finances to focus on his church and congregation.
