Want to make a $ Million?
Well if you aren't born that way and don't want to kiss all the ass necessary for a career in politics there is a field open for you. Religion. All you have to do is sell the credulous on the wonderfulness of the non existent, even as you remind them that the non exitent is ready to blast them to eternal damnation unless they give you their life savings. If you can do that all this can be yours.
Televangelist Kenneth Copeland, who runs Kenneth Copeland Ministries, was one of several televangelists whose finances were investigated from 2007 to 2011 by Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa.And that is just one of the many successful sky pilots out there. To those interested, an apprenticeship in used car sales can be useful.
According to an article by the Associated Press that ran in 2008, "His ministry's 1,500-acre campus, behind an iron gate a half-hour drive from Fort Worth...includes a church, a private airstrip, a hangar for the ministry's $17.5 million jet and other aircraft, and a $6 million church owned lakefront mansion."
The article later added that while Copeland has not released up-to-date salary statements, "the church disclosed in a property-tax exemption application that his wages were $364,577 in 1995; Copeland's wife, Gloria, earned $292,593. It's not clear whether those figures include other earnings, such as special offerings for guest preaching or book royalties."
