Joel Osteen – $40m
So here is one of the more surprising entries on our list, Joel Osteen with a net worth of around $40 million, is actually a pastor! He became an international sensation with his televangelism, so much so that his book sales made over $50 million! All this from a man who used to be afraid of public speaking. It is no mystery that televangelism is a highly lucrative occupation, and Joel has turned inspirational Christian speaking and writing into an enormous source of wealth.
Kaley Cuoco – $55m
Kaley Cuoco is another woman who made it to success after her work in The Big Bang Theory. Apparently, she earns $1 million for every episode of the show. While most people cannot hope to make anything close to this much money in a lifetime, Cuoco can make this much in just one thirty-minute long episode of the enormously popular and lucrative sitcom. We hope that she puts all that money to good use!
