The Senate Finance Committee is inquiring into the finances of the leaders of some mega churches. In response, Creflo Dollar ()said his salary (which I guess pays for his Rolls Royce(s) and G4) is not tied to the money his church takes in. Who pays the salary then? Am I missing something?

Excerpt:
Creflo Dollar, one of six TV preachers asked by the Senate Finance Committee last week to disclose how much money his church is raking in, released a financial report showing that his World Changers Church International took in a whopping $69 million in 2006. The Atlanta-area televangelist, who lives an extravagantly wealthy lifestyle, wants to make it clear, however, that his beautiful Rolls-Royce and other amenities did not come out of the church’s coffers. “Without a doubt, my life is not average,” he said. “But I’d like to say, just because it is excessive doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. When I want a nice car, I use my own money to get the nice car and not the money of the church. My lifestyle does not come out of the church’s bank account.”
