Family Battle Offers Look Inside Lavish TV Ministry

Family Battle Offers Look Inside Lavish TV Ministry


For 39 years, the Trinity Broadcasting Network has urged viewers to give generously and reap the Lord’s bounty in return.

Mr. and Mrs. Crouch have his-and-her mansions one street apart in a gated community here, provided by the network using viewer donations and tax-free earnings. But Mrs. Crouch, 74, rarely sleeps in the $5.6 million house with tennis court and pool. She mostly lives in a large company house near Orlando, Fla., where she runs a side business, the Holy Land Experience theme park. Mr. Crouch, 78, has an adjacent home there too, but rarely visits. Its occupant is often a security guard who doubles as Mrs. Crouch’s chauffeur.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- PAUL AND JAN ARE A LIVING FACADE IN A MARRIAGE WHERE NEITHER LIVES OR SLEEPS IN THE SAME ABODE. THEY HAVE HIS AND HER HOUSES ON THE WEST AND EAST COASTS AND BEYOND.
And this in the NYTimes report, "... In 2010, TBN received $93 million in tax-exempt donations, according to its tax report. The company also had $64 million in additional income from sales of airtime and $17 million in investment income that year."
