At the very least, the money, I’d imagine, is invested back into the ministry at some level.
We don’t know. Nor do I care - if they are playing the music as entertainers and not as “worship leaders”. Last I heard, it is bad form to pay people for the privilege of attending their worship service. I think Jesus tossed some tables over it.
“Those two words “I’d Imagine”, are the rub.

There’s a fine line between “Christian contemporary artist” and “worship leader” and apparently you have a pretty severe opinion if someone dares cross it.
What you may not had seen is all of the comps that were given to local churches, families, etc. This is standard practice for many Christian artists. Not to mention, often times a portion of the gate goes towards a missions project (WorldVision, clean water projects, etc.).
I would just suggest look deeper into it before throwing any stones.
