My grandpa was a Methodist minister and while he didn't get rich off it, he did make a good living. The church paid for his parsonage plus he received a salary that was probably above the average household income of the people attending the church. He lived a humble lifestyle and dedicated most of his time to the church and the lord so he was compensated accordingly I guess, but there are many unlike him who do get rich of your tithe. Church is big business, that's why you'll find one on every corner in Anytown, USA.
