#44: Herbert W. Armstrong
$60 Million Fortune
Meet Herbert W. Armstrong, the visionary founder behind the Radio Church of God, established in 1933 and later evolving into the Worldwide Church of God. His legacy extends beyond religious institutions; in 1947, he laid the groundwork for Ambassador College.

Renowned as one of the early pioneers of radio and tele-evangelism, Armstrong’s influence was profound. However, allegations of greed created rifts within his own family. His son Garner accused him of misusing millions of dollars from the church’s annual income for personal expenses.
