The Richest Mega Pastors in America

First ordained as a Christian evangelical preacher in the 1960s, he first stepped onto the pulpit in 1964, and in five years, he’d end up joining the Grace Community Church in Los Angeles. As he became even more popular, he launched Grace To You, a daily radio broadcast in 1977, that eventually became an internationally syndicated show.

In 1986, MacArthur established his own college in Los Angeles, The Master’s Seminary, where he continues to serve as the college’s president, all the while remaining a pastor at Grace Community Church. He’s authored 150 books so far, including the best sellers, Twelve Ordinary Men and MacArthur Study Bible.

MacArthur is believed to hold a net worth of $12,485,467 and receives an executive pay of around $160,000.

Kay Arthur

Although born into an extremely religious family, Kay Arthur’s early life saw her living a sinful life. After learning of the suicide of his first husband after their divorce, Arthur went through a series of bad relationships, which included being with a married man for two years. Eventually, she turned to her faith for guidance, saying that she “went down on her knees a harlot and got up a saint.”

Arthur married a second time in 1965 and became a missionary in Mexico along with her husband before returning to Tennessee to found Precept Ministries International, which was originally named Reach-Out Ranch.

Arthur has since published more than 100 books and Bible studies, and is frequent speaker in many international conferences. She’s also the host of a daily Bible Study Teaching program called “Precepts of Life”, which is available via radio, TV and online.

Kay Arthur reportedly receives over $100k from Precept Ministries every year.
