Joel Osteen – Net Worth: $100 Million

American televangelist, pastor, and author Joel Osteen has televised sermons that have been seen by more than ten million viewers in the United States, as well as several million in over one hundred countries. He has also written several best-selling books. Early on in his career, Osteen’s father encouraged him for many years to preach but declined, preferring to work behind the scenes. However, in 1999, he accepted his father’s suggestion and started preaching regularly. Later that year, Osteen was named the new senior pastor of Lakewood Church.

The pastor got credit as one of the Ten Most Fascinating People of 2006 by Barbara Walters. The high-profile televangelist and his family attended the White House Easter Breakfast hosted by former President Barack Obama in 2010. Osteen also has appeared in film and television shows, such as Words of Art, The Star, and I Hope You Dance: The Power and Spirit of Song. Currently, the televangelist’s net worth is $100 million. With his fortune, he bought a mansion in Texas and reportedly a Ferrari 458 Italia.
