American preacher, televangelist Joel Osteen has come under social media attack after pictures of his $325,000 Ferrari surfaced on Twitter on Sunday, July 18 2021.

According to reports, the Ferrari costs $325,000 (133,734,250.00).

This has led to many calling for pastors and other religious leaders to start paying taxes to the government.

“If this isn’t the perfect argument to tax churches, then there isn’t one. Joel Osteen and his Ferrari,” Michael Alan Westen wrote.

However, Joel Osteen is reportedly worth approximately $100 million.

The 58-year-old pastor has authored and sold 15 books.

Also, he gets paid for public speaking gigs.

However, Joel didn’t also start from scratch.

The famous Lakewood Church, as well as its television ministry, were an inheritance from his father, a Southern Baptist pastor.

Joel took over as the church’s pastor in 1999, after his father died.

Over the years the church’s broadcast has grown to 100 countries. The church reportedly welcomes more than 50,000 parishioners every week.

Joel’s weekly televised sermons have been averaging around 7 million people per week and reaching 20 million per month.

Some of his most popular books are Your Best Life Now, Become A Better You, and many more. He has written 15 books so far in his career.

Joel  reportedly lives in a 17,000 square-foot mansion in a wealthy suburb named River Oaks in Houston and his property is estimated to worth $10.5 million.
