2. Kay Arthur
Arthur started in nursing school, married, and nearly lived a normal life. Her first husband committed suicide sometime after Kay divorced him. At that time, her life was a mess of bad relationships and worse choices. Although Kay grew up in a Christian home, she didn’t turn to mission work until the 1960s after she remarried. His name was Jack Arthur. The pair worked in Mexico until they had to leave, returning to the States, in Tennessee. Jack became a station manager at a Christian radio station, while Kay taught a bible study group. That bible group grew into a ministry, Reach Out Ranch, later renamed Precept Ministries International. Arthur lost Jack to cancer, but she stills speaks in public and has written a few books. Her total net worth is somewhere around $5 million.
