Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), has gone viral online following his humorous response to being described as the richest pastor in the world.
The moment appeared in a video shared by Christian content creator Sonoftheprophet, showing a conversation between the bishop and Stephen Akintayo, a popular inspirational speaker and entrepreneur. During the exchange, Akintayo referenced reports from outlets such as Forbes while addressing Oyedepo’s global financial standing.
He said:
“You’re the richest pastor in the world, sir.”
Bishop David Oyedepo responded with laughter and a light-hearted remark:
“Where did you mark it?”
The response sparked laughter in the room and ignited widespread discussion across social media platforms about the bishop’s views on wealth and public perception.
According to Forbes (2011), Bishop Oyedepo is widely regarded as the richest Black pastor, with an estimated net worth of approximately $150 million. His assets reportedly include Faith Tabernacle, Africa’s largest worship center, Dominion Publishing House, two universities — Covenant and Landmark — and a fleet of four private jets.
The report also highlighted a recent development involving his son, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, who announced that his ministry would no longer collect offerings, citing a specific instruction from God.
