Meet the Pastor Who Needs a New $65 Million Private Jet

This is the guy you've been hearing about, excuse me, the pastor you've been hearing about, Creflo Dollar, who wants his flock to buy him a $65 million private jet!

He says he needs it to spread the ministry around the world, and his old jet is cracking up!

He made a video and everything.  If 200 thousand people gave $300 dollars each, Creflo could order that jet, likety split.

So who is Creflo Dollar?  Well various news organizations have done the $65 million jet story.  I like the Daily Mail assessment of Creflo.  The website says he is 53, the head of the World Changers Church International, a Christian ministry centered around the prosperity gospel, which preaches that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches. In other words give to his church and you too will prosper.

The Daily Mail says Dollar has an estimated net worth of $27 million. He has a wife named Taffi and five kids. One of those kids called the cops on him three years ago.

In June 2012, his 15-year-old daughter called 911, saying her father repeatedly punched and choked her at their Atlanta home. The teenager also said it wasn't the first time something like that had happened and that she felt threatened living in the house.  Dollar was arrested and charged with family brutality and juvenile cruelty. The charges were later dropped but he had to go to anger management classes.

So do you think Creflo will get his new jet? He did pull the webpage that was asking for donations. But people can still donate.  Maybe if he gives his followers a tour of his multi-million dollar retreat in Fayettville Georgia, folks may just keep their money in their pockets.
