29. Joyce Meyer Earnings Go Up To $8 Million
Joyce Meyer Ministries was investigated by Senator Chuck Grassley seeking to determine if Meyer had made personal profit from financial donations, asking for a detailed accounting for cosmetic surgery, foreign bank accounts, corporate jet, cars, houses, and numerous paintings purchased for $1,000 to $4,000 each, among many other expensive items all paid for by the ministry. When criticized by peers regarding her lavish lifestyle Christian author, speaker, and president of Joyce Meyer Ministries has responded that she doesn’t have to defend her spending habits because “…there’s no need for us to apologize for being blessed”.
