Super Wealthy Church Leaders in America

18. Paul Cain

Sporting the most ironic name in evangelical Christianity, Paul (as in the fella mentioned earlier) Cain (as in the bad seed of Adam and Eve) is a venerable figure in evangelic Christianity. Cain received his first name when his mother miraculously survived childbirth despite an affliction of tuberculosis. She gave her little miracle a very Christian name as a symbol of his calling to the priesthood. Cain, it seems, took her at face value. By age 18 he was preaching to huge crowds of people (30,000) in Switzerland and Germany. At such young age, he was on par with names like Oral Roberts, and the aforementioned Billy Graham.
