ATLANTA: An Atlanta megachurch took in $69 million ($47 million) in 2006, 
according to a financial statement the church's minister released in response 
to a Senate investigation into him and five other well-known televangelists. 
The Rev. Creflo Dollar disclosed the World Changers Church International's 
financial information to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, but said the money 
he spends is his own.

Dollar said his income comes from personal investments, including businesses 
and real estate ventures. But the church gave him a Rolls Royce, which he 
mainly uses for special occasions, he said. "Without a doubt, my life is not 
average," he said. "But I'd like to say, just because it is
excessive doesn't 
necessarily mean it's wrong."

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Finance 
Committee, launched an investigation into the finances of six ministers after 
hearing reports of some preachers' lavish and opulent lifestyles. In a letter 
last week, he requested answers by Dec. 6 to questions about their executive 
compensation and amenities, including use of fancy cars and private jets.

Besides Dollar, the letters were sent to faith healer Benny Hinn, Kenneth and 
Gloria Copeland of Texas, David and Joyce Meyer of Missouri, Randy and Paula 
White of Florida and Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church 
in Lithonia, Georgia.
