Religious hucksters 'own' their church and all income is reported as income of an exempt organization–tax free.
preacher draws some salary but his mansion is the parsonage, his private jet belongs to the church and he gets an expense account to cover anything he needs to buy and to cover flying first class and staying in the best hotels.
wife is also on church business when she travels.
