Do you know how many of his dumbass books he sells? Hes a scum bag for sure, but hes likely getting most if not all of his big dough from his book sales.

Yeah, I think Osteen is a human waste.

But he is rich from his books way moreso than tithing. However, he does apparently pimp his books during his sermons, which I find hilarious.

And I agree that I normally wouldn't care about megachurches getting millions of dollars from idiots, but they are tax exempt and that is bullshite IMO.

Yesterday there was a thread about him and I looked up something on him. His arena where he holds service holds 16,800 people and it stated that each week 52,000 people attend his services. As I stated yesterday, if everyone who attends his services every week gave $1, that would be just over $2.7 million.

I have no idea if they pass a basket around or what, but let's say each person, every week is worth $5 to him that's $13.5 Million.

Now, throw in all the people who reaches out to through TV, radio, etc. I wouldn't even know where to begin to put an estimate on that, but let's be modest and say all over the world, not including the people who attends his services, he has 300,000 people who are loyal and they are worth.. Let's say a modest $5 a year to him. That is another $1.5 million, so that's $15 million.

That's a modest estimate I assume. I'd love to know how much they do to actually help people.

He makes all his money from book sales and speaking fees. He takes no salary from his church.

I am not a fan of the man but I also do not believe in criticizing a guy for something he is not doing.
