I seem to remember that I read Osteen takes no salary from his curch. He lives on profits from his books. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, I have never been to his church and have no intentions of going.
My comments were not solely directed to him. More of a broad brush of TV preachers if you will.

He quit taking a $200,000 yr salary in 2005 when his book was published. The Olsteens have lived in the same house for 13+ yrs and until last year he drove a nine yr old car he inherited when his dad died. As co-pastor I don’t know the situation for his wife regarding a salary, etc.
The church takes in about a million dollars a week which pays the salary of some 300 staffers, debt on the 95 million funding to purchase/renovate the facility, church outreach activities, etc.
