The appropriately named Creflo Dollar is a nondenominational televangelist from Georgia who teaches that Jesus wants you to be rich. He, along with wife Taffi (yes, Taffi), is prominent in the "Word of Faith" or "name it and claim it" movement. Among other things, he teaches that there is a set of "Believer's Rights" promised in the Bible that includes the same abilities Jesus had, such as the power to raise the dead from the grave. Believe it or not, Dollar is his real name.

Dollar's ministry, as well as that of Benny Hinn, was the subject of a feeble Senatorial probe started by Sen. Chuck Grassley in November of 2007, who alleged financial mismanagement and unjust enrichment.[1]

In March 2015, Dollar begged asked his followers for a $65 million jet so he could jaunt about in style, asking for yet more money. His old jet is broken; maybe there's a nut missing? Dollar is estimated to be only worth $27 million dollars, so it seems he can't afford it on his own.[2]
