1. Bishop David Oyedepo:
Bishop Oyedepo is the head pastor and
founder of Living Faith World Outreach
Ministry (aka Winners Chapel). His estimated

worship center.
He owns two private jets (some sources say
four) and houses in London and the United
States.
He owns Dominion Publishing House, a
successful publishing company which
publishes all his books. His books, incidentally,
are all about prosperity and little or nothing
more.
Some years ago he founded Covenant
University, taking advantage of the
government’s decision to encourage private
individuals and organizations to own and run
higher institutions of learning. Covenant
University has become one of the elite private
universities in the country. Just recently, in
another round of licensing by the government,
Pastor Oyedepo got himself another license to
run another university.

network to broadcast from Nigeria to the rest

to great effect.

currently has branches in Ghana, the UK, South
Africa and Greece.

his own ideas and set up his own church
instead.

church in the united Kingdom. In 2009 the

actors/actresses, musicians, and society
people.

Re: Nigerian Richest Pastors In 2015 by dollarlander: 11:50pm On Aug 11, 2015
Daddy GO is the richest man on the earth. He does not measure his wealth by the amount of money he has in the bank. He is very extra ultra rich.

Tell someone I lied. If you will like to confirm please plan to attend December Holy Ghost Congress at the new auditorium that spans 3Km by 3Km.

God bless you.
