Super Wealthy Church Leaders in America

9. Clifton Davis

Another Hollywood evangelist, Davis has made a career of straddling both sides of entertainment. In 1987, after earning his Master of Divinity, Davis was ordained, but he didn’t stop there. He’s been a songwriter, most notably for the Jackson 5, but also a TV actor on the show Madam Secretary. Davis also hosts a show called Gospel Superfest on TBN. All told, his net worth exceeds $3 million.

8. Ernie Fletcher

Fletcher’s resume is unique. He started in the Air Force, with designs on the space program. Budget cuts to NASA drove him to medical school, where he earned his degree then opened a medical practice. On the side, he started working as a lay pastor and took an interest in politics. In 1999, he became House congressman, and in 2003 became the Governor of Kentucky. In 2006, Fletcher suffered misdemeanor charges for conspiracy and political misconduct. Good luck confirming Fletcher’s $3 million net worth. One can be sure he’s not wandering the countryside like St. Paul. Congress members earn in the $200,000s.
