As the nonprofit organization's president, Hagee drew $540,000 in compensation, as well as an additional $302,005 in compensation for his position as president of Cornerstone Church, according to GETV's tax statements.

He also received $411,561 in benefits from GETV, including contributions to a retirement package for highly paid executives the IRS calls a "rabbi trust," so named because the first beneficiary of such an irrevocable trust was a rabbi.

The John Hagee Rabbi Trust includes a $2.1 million 7,969-acre ranch outside Brackettville, with five lodges, including a "main lodge" and a gun locker. It also includes a manager's house, a smokehouse, a skeet range and three barns.

Taken together, his payment package, $842,005 in compensation and $414,485 in benefits, was one of the highest, if not the highest, pay package for a nonprofit director in the San Antonio area in 2001.

And the list goes on...

Just google "fill in the name of a televangelist Protestant preacher" and "salary" - and you'll find a host of articles like this.

There you go. What Hagee makes is public information. So that is irrelevant to this thread, isn't it? The thread is about the pay packages of pastors that is not publicly revealed.

Perhaps, but that search criteria represents a fairly small portion of Protestant pastors in the U.S.

I'll not condemn nor defend Hagee, et al, for what they make, but you also have to consider what these people give. What do they tithe on a regular basis? What sorts of ministries do they personally fund? I know some of these guys live ridiculously extravagant lives, and they'll have to answer to God for that. For that matter, we'll all have to answer to God for how we use the resources given us.
