Charles Stanley
Charles Stanley became a born-again Christian at the young age of 12, and became a minister just two years later when he was still 14. After graduating from the University of Richmond and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Stanley moved to Atlanta, Georgia and was appointed the pastor at the First Baptist Church. Then, in 1972, he started The Chapel Hour, which was picked up and syndicated by the Christian Broadcasting Network in 1978.
As his popularity continued to rise, Stanley launched In Touch Ministries, which only spread his word on a worldwide scale.
Today, In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley is translated to over 100 languages, and despite boasting a net worth of $1.5 million, the 83-year-old chooses to live a modest life.
