13. David Oyedepo (Net Worth $150 Million)

David Oyedepo is one of the richest religious leaders on this list and he lives in one of the poorest countries on this list. How is that the case? Some argue it is because the poorly educated are more likely to turn to religion and give money. That may be a bit cynical, but it may hold some truth.

With two mansions and four private jets, he isn’t afraid to throw his wealth around. And just to make sure he doesn’t run out anytime soon he has reinvested some of the earnings from his teachings into starting a publishing company in which he pushes out books at a high margin. A businessman first it would seem.
