In reply to the discussion: Televangelist Paul Crouch, founder of TBN, dies at 79 [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)53. And that is only one of 13!
It is likely the largest, but the Crouch's had 12 more properties, all described as mansions. There's also a private jet and a $100,000 air conditioned dog house for Janice's doggies.
So that one mansion is just scratching the surface of their excesses.
It's much worse than that.
Their kids and grand kids have been warring legally with the Crouch's for a couple of years now. Paul and Jan are reportedly (but unconfirmed) divorced, which might explain the reason for this.
With Crouch's death this will likely get very ugly fairly quickly, I predict.
As long as it publicly exposes what they used the money for, that's a good thing.

Will they throw his ashes out of the personal jet he begged his followers to pay for?
