No 5, Creflo Dollar: $27 Million
True to his name, Creflo is known as one of the flashiest of America’s Ministers to date. He owns a Rolls Royce, and multiple $2.5 million estates. His beginning wasn’t that lucrative, however. Creflo began developing World Changers Church International (WCCI) in 1986. He held the Church’s first worship service in the cafeteria of an elementary school in College Park with eight people in attendance.
Growing Fast
His following grew quickly and on December 24, 1995, WCCI moved into its present location—an 8,500-seat facility known as the World Dome. The church has said that the $18 million to build the World Dome was done without any bank financing, which isn’t that surprising seeing as of 2007, the congregation reported having around 30,000 members, and $69 million in revenue.
Sketchy Scandals
In 2013, Creflo was arrested for allegedly attacking his own daughter. The charges were dropped after he attended several anger management groups.
A year later, Creflo’s private Gulfstream III jet ran off the runway, but there were no serious injuries. To replace the old jet, Creflo launched a fundraising campaign to get his congregation to pay around $60,000,000 for a new jet. The suggested donation was “$300 or more,” but the campaign was canceled after an immense backlash. Followers were still given the option to donate for the jet on a page of the ministry’s website and lo and behold, several months later, the board of WCCI announced that they were ready to acquire a Gulfstream G650.
