Joel Osteen is quite a guy. Probably most of his wealth comes from his books which I have found to be fairly inspirational reading. He takes physical fitness seriously and boasts six pack abs. Reputedly he can bench press 300 lbs but more likely it is 200 since he only weighs about 150 lbs. His wife is quite a looker.
Here is a photo of him on vacation.

My guess is he is worth several times $40M by now.
He is intense and highly focused. His sermons are meticulously scripted, not spontaneous at all.
