Franklin Graham
The son of the famous pastor, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham was born to be what he is today, and is living proof that it is possible to create a family dynasty in the religious world.
As the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, Billy Graham’s finances have been questioned many times. Case in point, in 2008, in the midst of what’s now known as “The Great Recession, he claimed a total of $1.2 million as compensation from both the Samaritan’s Purse and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. This came under fire almost immediately, although Graham, as well as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association board, claimed that $300,000 of the said amount was deferred retirement money from previous years.
The following year, he announced he would no longer be taking any more money from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Despite doing so, he’s still probably very rich, as his net worth still remains in the millions of dollars.
