Charles Stanley Net Worth
Charles Stanley is a famous senior pastor of First Baptist Church and also a successful author. His books with religious themes are selling very well. So it’s no wonder he amassed sizable fortune. As of 2015, Stanley’s net worth is approximately $1.5 million. Let’s take a look on his inspirational life now.
Charles was born September 25, 1932 in Dry Fork, Virginia. Although he lost most of his faith while growing up, he became a born-again Christian as a teenager. He holds Bachelor’s Degree from University of Richmond and Master’s Degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth.
He married his girlfriend Anna Stanley in 1958 and as of 2000 they were still together. Stanley and his wife raised two kids. In the year 2000, Charles and his wife decided to divorce which caused a lot of fuss in their highly religious community. Despite that, FBA voted to keep him on as pastor.
So he still runs First Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia and on the top of that has a large income from his books. Royalties are a neat way to increase one’s net worth and it works also in Stanley’s case. He published for example titles like Success God’s Way, The Gift of Forgiveness, and How to Reach Your Full Potential for God.
