Benny Hinn
Born in Israel ans raised as an Eastern Orthodox, Benny Hinn would covert to Pentecostalism after he and his family moved to Canada. Having discovered his passion for religion, Hinn chose to move to the United States and began proclaiming himself as a miracle healer called by God himself. Not long after, the Miracle Crusades started as his followers packed the stadiums by the thousands to witness his “miraculous” touch, which was documented on This Is Your Day, one of the most watched religious programs in the world.
Hinn’s abilities have reportedly cursed everything from damaged limbs to cancer and even AIDS. He’s no stranger to controversy, though. Case in point, many questioned his healing abilities after he was admitted to a California hospital for shortness of breath after completing a mission in Brazil.
Boasting a net worth of $42 million, he claims that his crusades helps feed over 100,00 children a year and support nearly 45,000 every day. Additionally, he claims to have helped over one billion people over the years.
