I just read an article about David Cerullo. David is the head of the Inspiration Networks religious organization. They have nearly $100 million in annual revenues, mostly from donations by their followers. The church preaches that people who donate are more favored by God.
Unfortunately the ministry is hitting hard times and has had to lay people off, turn down the heat and cut costs wherever it can. Apparently it can’t cut costs at the CEO level. David Cerullo is making $1.5 million per year and is building a $4 million home in a gated community in western South Carolina.
I think I prefer my religious leaders to live a little bit more modest lifestyle…….
