Kenneth Max Copeland (born December 6, 1936) is an American author, musician, public speaker, and televangelist. His work deals with the Charismatic Movement. Copeland has been known for preaching a message called the prosperity gospel, but some people criticize it.[1]
People also criticize Copeland for his anti-vaccination stance, which the say caused a large measles outbreak in his church[2] and for using donations from his church for personal needs such as a $17.5 million private airplane.[3][4][5]
With a net worth of USD $300 million, Copeland is the world's richest pastor.[6]
