4 things Houston’s Joel Osteen should give away since money shouldn’t be our ‘focus’

It’s no surprise, however, why millions of people might rather throw tomatoes than listen to the Lakewood Church pastor tell them “don’t focus on what you have or don’t have.” Because in what world can he relate?

I MEAN, REALLY? Jeff Bezos is spending millions on a superyacht with its own ‘support yacht’

From his Hurricane Harvey response to Lakewood Church accepting a $4.4 million Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan, the megamillion church leader has received a lot of backlash for his glacial reaction times when it comes to looking out for Houstonians in their time of need.

Since Osteen was quick to say we shouldn’t focus on what we don’t have — not that he would know, since he has everything — here are some items Houstonians can take off his hands.

1. His private jet

Summer vacations are ramping up, and I’m sure everyone could use a ride on a private jet. Osteen reportedly owns an $86 million Airbus A19, which is a huge plane for a private aircraft and one of the most expensive jets money can buy.

2. His second home

Osteen and his wife Victoria are said to have paid $10.5 million for their River Oaks mansion in 2010, which boasts six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three elevators, a guest house, a pool, and a pool house. However, the couple kept their previous residence, a $2.9 million mansion in Tanglewood.

3. His Ferrari 458 Italia 

When it comes to selecting luxury vehicles, a Ferrari has never been high up on my list. But if Joel Osteen can drive one (and I think it’s safe to assume he doesn’t have a car note), then why not? 

4. $10 million to be disbursed across Houston

I know what you’re thinking: He’s worth $100 million and you’re only asking for 10? The answer is yes, because Houstonians do not take pride in being greedy and a measly $10 million is definitely enough to help pay off debts. It’s a win, win, seeing as how Osteen doesn’t care to give away free money anyway.

NO SURPRISE THERE: Many of the uber-rich pay next to no income tax

One thing’s for certain, Osteen stands firm in his belief that being poor isn’t a requirement for being a good pastor. And honestly, he’s right — but there is something wrong when someone in his position and career field basically runs away when it’s time to help the millions of people who support him daily. (Seriously, he has 4.5 million followers on Instagram alone.)

Stay tuned for a review of Osteen’s new book “Peaceful on Purpose,” which I’m sure will bring me anything but peace.
