Here is a Ranking of the World’s Wealthiest Pastors

American pastor Jimmy Swaggert initiated his global TV ministry in 1971, reaching audiences in 105 countries. However, Swaggart’s journey took a tumultuous turn in the late 1980s and early 1990s when he faced allegations of sexual misconduct.

In a moment that would become infamous, Swaggart delivered a heartfelt “I have sinned!” speech before his congregation and TV viewers in February 1988, acknowledging his transgressions. As a result, he was defrocked by the Assemblies of God. Today, Swaggart’s media empire endures, with an estimated net worth of $10 million.
