Joel fell into media scrutiny in 2017 when his church reportedly turned away Texans who were in need of food, shelter and general care after Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. The reason was that the church supposedly was inaccessible due to severe flooding caused by the storm. However posts blasted across social media showed clear roads and a seemingly accessible, non-flooded building. Social users took no mercy on Osteen, calling him un-Christian and more.
Osteen’s Net Worth is estimated at $40 million by celebritynetworth.com. He is one of the richest pastors in the United States of America. Osteen’s sermons and writings are sometimes criticized for promoting prosperity theology, or the prosperity gospel, a belief that the reward of material gain is the will of God for all pious Christians.
When asked if he is a prosperity teacher, Osteen responded that if prosperity means God wants people to be blessed and healthy and have good relationships, then he considers himself a prosperity teacher, but if it is about money, he does not. In the words of Osteen himself, “It’s God’s will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty.”
