Default Joel Osteen's net worth

Did you read the full article at the website?

It says after his book came out in 2005, he gave up his $200,000 salary from the church.

It seems the majority of his wealth is from his publications

Quote below is directly from the website you cited.

"Once his inaugural book "Your Best Life Now" had become a New York Times best-seller in 2005, Osteen gave up his $200,000 church salary. As for Osteen's second book titled "Become A Better You", it has reportedly brought him in a cool $13 million. Joel Osteen, whose book sales and related stuff generates a reported $55 million, claims an individual should not feel guilt for possessing lots of material wealth. Instead, one needs to thank and praise God for the acquired wealth."
