When I grow up, I wanna be like this cat (net worth: $ 1.1 billion) Christ Pays.
Edir Macedo, founder of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, is among the richest religious leaders in the world and a Brazilian media mogul to boot. Raised a Catholic, he converted to evangelical Christianity in the early 1970s. In 1977 he founded his own sect in Rio de Janeiro, which follows "prosperity theology," asserting that faith and commitment to a church are rewarded with wealth. In July of 2013 he also became a banker after acquiring a 49% stake in privately-held bank Banco Renner, which boasts among the highest interest rates in Brazil.
The church can typically be found in your nearest barrio, getting that immigrant money. I have family that have fallen in and they make hardcore JW's look like lazy bums when it comes to trying to convert you. It's unreal. They even started talking spanish with a portuguese accent after a while.
