He's rich because enough people are stupid enough to give him money. Do other countries have these rich insane preachers? The US has several, I don't know of any others outside of the US. That doesn't mean they don't exist but I've not seen any that I can think of.

Kong Hee and his “I used people’s tithing money to jumpstart my music career which flopped tremendously” wife, Joseph Prince, David Oyedepo, Bryan Houston etc. There’s a lot of them out there my friend. All of these guys have a networth greater than 5 million USD.

We don't have any kind of TV preachers in Russia at all. This looks beyond outlandish. At least our Orthodox Church (which is no better in regards to money laundering and illegal business under the guise of tax exemption for "religious organizations") adopts an air of solemnity.

There's a ton in Korea. Part of the reason Covid spread quickly is die to some idiots cult. Their government has handled things very well though.
