#40: Jesse Duplantis
$40 Million Fortune
Meet Jesse Duplantis, the visionary behind Jesse Duplantis Ministries (JDM), a global powerhouse with headquarters spanning continents from America to the United Kingdom and Australia. In 1997, Jesse and his wife Cathy founded Covenant Church, a beacon of outreach under the JDM umbrella.

Yet, Duplantis’s use of private jets has stirred controversy. He defends it by claiming commercial planes are rife with “demons” and insists Jesus would use private jets to spread the gospel today. Despite scrutiny, Duplantis remains undeterred, his estimated $40 million net worth a testament to his unwavering commitment to his ministry’s mission.
