Charles E. Blake
Charles E. Blake is the Church of God in Christ’s Presiding Bishop and leads an 8.8 million-strong following of Holiness Pentecostals. This movement encompasses much of the Pentecostal subscribers of the African American group. In 2014, Blake got into a nasty spat with fellow preacher Elder Carter when the latter made some hostile homophobic remarks at a sermon. Blake condemned Carter’s hate speech, which then led to Carter defaming Blake, which snowballed into a court case. Other than that, Blake has enjoyed a peaceful but profitable life with a salary of around $200,000.
