It seems his books have made him "wealthy." He paid his church back for all the years they paid him in pastoral ministry. He takes no salary from the church. He and his wife decided not to change their lifestyle, so he has made no purchases out of the ordinary since becoming wealthy. He is investing most of the money into church planting missions through Saddleback. I've never been a big fan of his books, but that is a refreshing testimony and example when we see the opposite so often.<BR/><BR/>I'd just like to add that it is not possessing wealth that is the only danger with money.
