#10: Jack Van Impe
$2.5 Million Fortune
Jack Van Impe, affectionately known as ‘The Walking Bible,’ commenced his pastoral journey in the 1950s, leaving an indelible mark on Christian ministry. Joining forces with his beloved wife, Rexella Mae Shelton, whom he married in 1954, they established Jack Van Impe Ministries and pioneered the immensely popular TV series Jack Van Impe Presents.

With his encyclopedic knowledge of scripture and unwavering dedication to spreading the gospel, Van Impe captivated audiences worldwide for decades. Sadly, health issues compelled his departure from the show in 2017, and his passing in 2020 marked the end of an era in evangelical broadcasting.
