5. Creflo Dollar: $27 Million
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.
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.
