Paula White
Paula White grew up in poverty and experienced physical abuse in her early years. Her life would only take a turn for the better after graduating from high school, where she claimed to have had a vision from God calling her to preach the gospel to others.
She soon moved to Florida and transformed a struggling church into the Without Walls International Church in the 1990s along with her husband. Her oft-humorous sermons gained her thousands of attendees every week, which in turn led to her gaining national attention. Although she would experience a few bumps along the way, as she would divorce her husband and was also accused by the United States Senate of financial wrongdoing.
After having her name cleared, the award-winning televangelist, whose net worth is set at around $5 million, went back to focus on her ministry and now divides her time between church and the set of her own television show, Paula White Today.
