Joel Osteen | Pastor ,Author| $100m

If you are a constant reader of self-help books, then you surely have heard of the author, Joel Osteen. Joel is the man behind the New York Times Best Sellers Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential and Become a Better You: 7 Keys to Improving Your Life Every Day. Joel hails from Houston, Texas, and is a well-known pastor for Lakewood Church, which was founded and once led by his late father, John Osteen.

Throughout his earlier years, however, Joel wasn’t in favor of doing a preacher’s work and preferred a job behind the scenes, though that sentiment changed soon after. His preaches about the good news are often televised and viewed by over 10 million Americans and millions more from outside the United States. Joel’s religious pursuits have certainly paid off, as the author/pastor is now worth an impressive $100 million in net worth and investments.
