Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Publicly Declares His ‘Net Worth’

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, has sparked renewed discussion after openly declaring what he considers his true “net worth” during his ongoing Rhapaton praying programme.

The popular televangelist challenged what he described as the “message of poverty,” asserting that the gospel of Christ is not about lack but about wealth and inheritance. Quoting 2 Corinthians 8:9, he emphasized that Jesus’ sacrifice was meant to make believers “rich,” not just spiritually but materially.

“Jesus had the treasure and was poor, for your sake, He laid all that down, for one purpose—that you might be rich. For those who don’t want to be rich, then they’ve chosen not to be born again, because to be born again means to be an heir of the kingdom,” he said.

When asked about his personal fortune, Pastor Chris dismissed attempts to equate his wealth with bank accounts or material figures. “Really? Really? How do you want to find out? You want to find out about the bank and all that stuff? Oh no! Oh, a thousand times no. There’s a kind of wealth, there’s a level of riches that you cannot quantify with your Japanese calculator. If you want me to show it to you, I can show you where I operate from,” he declared.

The cleric also recalled a remark from his younger daughter, who once said, “There are only two people I know that are rich in this world—God and Pastor Chris.” Citing Ephesians 3:8 (AMPC), he announced this as the foundation of his “net worth,” insisting that true wealth for a believer cannot be measured by earthly standards but by the “unsearchable riches of Christ.”
