Louis Farrakhan
You know of the Nation of Islam, but do you know how leads it? Louis Farrakhan is among the religious world’s most controversial characters. He was incredibly active during the 20th century where he organized and led many explosive events like the 1995 Million Man March on Washington D.C. He and Malcolm X were bitter rivals, with many critics believing that he had a hand in Malcolm X’s assassination. Farrakhan has a $3 million net worth.
John Danforth
It is incredible how well politics and religion go together in America. John Danforth decided that his political career was not as fulfilling or profitable as ministry could be. After more than 19 years as a senator, as well as a year spent as the UN ambassador from the U.S. between 2004 and 2005, Danforth took up preaching. He is also the part-owner of the St. Louis Blues hockey team. His net worth stands at more than $30 million.
