Pastor Joel Osteen pays himself an annual salary of $54,000,000 from his church profits. He had a custom garage built with 20 car stalls for each of his custom vehicles. His favorite is a Ferrari 458 Italia that cost $270,000. He lives in a 70,000 sq ft mansion.

Joel Osteen owns the Lakewood Church, and the church itself is not taxed, I heard he sunk $100,000,000 into renovations about 20 yrs ago, I guess the place is gigantic. You are right about he pays taxes on his sermon fees when he goes to other churches.

You’re right, except he owns the Lakewood Church outright, and all donations go directly to him, and they are untaxed because they fall under Religious Donations.
