The ministries for televangelists Keith Moore and Creflo Dollar recently purchased new jets, totaling tens of millions of dollars.
After a fundraising campaign with a goal of $10 million, Moore’s Faith Life International purchased a used Dassault Falcon 7X jet, which was listed for sale at $17.5 million on the website AircraftVx. A new model would have cost $60 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration disclosed the purchase when it certified the jet in May. The jet’s original tail number was N1902C, but has been changed to N37KM. Tail numbers are the aircraft equivalent of license plates for cars. When ministries purchase a jet, the ministry founder’s initials are frequently used in the tail number.
In addition to the Falcon 7X, Faith Life International also owns a Dassault Falcon 900 EX (tail number N7KM) and Raytheon 390 (tail number N8PJ) jets. Pastor Moore is a licensed pilot and certified to fly all three jet models, but both Falcon jets require an additional pilot in the cockpit.
Similarly, Creflo Dollar’s property holding company World Heir recently acquired two used jets: a Gulfstream G-IV (tail number N878SM) and a Learjet 60 (tail number N978SM).
Initially, Dollar asked his flock for 200,000 donors to give $300 each to fund the purchase of a new $65 million Gulfstream G650 jet. However, the preacher faced immediate backlash due to critical international news coverage.
So, instead, Dollar’s property holding company World Heir acquired two used jets: a Gulfstream G-IV (tail number N878SM) and a Learjet 60 (tail number N978SM). The latter jet was sold recently to Trigger Air LLC, with the terms not disclosed.
Trinity Foundation searched for but didn’t find any example of Dollar disclosing to his congregation World Changers Church International and TV audience the recent purchase of a 2010 Gulfstream GV-SP (also known as G550) with the tail number N600JD.
Aircraft Shopper Online reports the sale price for the Gulfstream G550 was listed at $18,650,000. The FAA certified the jet on June 17.
Dollar, who is not a licensed pilot, uses the jet to fly to speaking engagements around the country and apparently for some vacations. On August 19, his new private plane flew to the island of Aruba and returned to the Atlanta area today; it is not known if Dollar or his family members traveled on these flights.
Barry Bowen is a staff member of Trinity Foundation, a public nonprofit based in Dallas, Texas, that has been tracking religious fraud and helping victims for over 30 years.
I sure wouldn’t want to be in his shoes on Judgement Day. Copeland looks like he’s possessed by a demon.
There’s a minister named Creflo Dollar?
Funny how doing the Lord’s work seems to require so much luxury sometimes.
Meet Clepto, (Excuse me... Creflo) and Keith Moore Forget these hucksters, I want to see the absolute morons who follow them and give them money.
“There’s a minister named Creflo Dollar?”
Yes and the joke is to call him “Clepto Dollar”
From his photo, I’d say his ministry is about JOY! Please give generously.
My dear friend, who was raised in the same church I was, sent a lot of money to The PTL Club back in the day. She and her hubby were in a low income bracket. She’s not a stupid person in many ways, but ignorant in other aspects of life.
These scheister gonefs have flocks?
Any relation to Johnny Dollar?
Hope they all have incompetenf pilots. 😎
“Believe it or not, some people are born with really low IQs and can’t recognize frauds like these hucksters.”
This also helps explain democrats. What’s disturbing though is there are so many of them.
He does. It’s in his eyes. Creflo Dollar, is a flake. I don’t know that other clown.
I haven’t thought of the PTL Club in decades.
I really was hoping it was the football team.
Just like Jesus!
The woman looks angry and vengeful ... reminds me of Michelle “Big Mike” Obama.
Religion is free... doesn’t require a weekly 10% tithe either.
