Rick Warren paid back Saddleback Church every dollar they paid him in salary after his 24th year. He now takes no salary from the church. Saddleback is coming up on its 30th anniversary.
He and his wife determined that their living standards would not change as the result of the book sales.
The Warrens “reverse tithe”. In other words, he lives on 10% of his income and tithes 90.
The 90% of proceeds from the book go to three foundations set up by the Warrens...they get nothing from those foundations.
To date his book has sold 52 million copies.
Rick Warren = Charlatan. Of course, the Church’s financial ledger cannot be shared with the public.

Those facts and figures refute the ignorant charges made in this thread.
