I seem to remember that I read Osteen takes no salary from his curch. He lives on profits from his books...
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.
That is about the weekly budget for Second Baptist in Houston among the 4-5 campuses. Second Baptist is a very good church and have visited it a few times when in Houston over the weekend. Ed Young is an excellent speaker.
