What is Chris Okotie's Net Worth?
Chris Okotie is a leading Nigerian televangelist who has a net worth of $3 million. Born on 16 June, 1958 in Ethiope-West, Delta State (then Bendel State), Chris Okotie has been serving as the pastor of God Church International Ministries, a Pentecostal congregation located in Lagos, Nigeria since February 1987. Unlikely for a man who made his first success as a popular pop musician in the 1980s, Okotie decided to leave singing for preaching and make an abundant wealth on the way. By the end of the decade, he embraced the bible and established the Household of God Church, one of Nigeria's most flamboyant congregations.
Today, Okotie's church has around 5,000 members, which predominantly include Nollywood celebrities, musicians and society people. Also active in politics, Chris Okotie contested and lost Nigerian presidential elections for a second time in 2007 under the Fresh Party, a political party he founded and funds. An avid automobile fan, Okotie owns a Mercedes S600, Hummer and Porsche among several others.
