I was just thinking about this topic and I can't stop thinking about this reply:
But isn't earning any amount of millions of dollars too much/ wrong if you are making them off a guy that had no money, and told everyone not just to have no money, but not to have any possessions as well?
Seriously, Christians behave like Jesus words of selling everything you have and giving it to the poor are some lunatic rant - which they certainly are - but then again, if you call yourself a Christian, and in the case of WLC you supposedly devote your life preaching Jesus' teaching, but at the same time have millions of dollars - then it is all just superficial posing and addition that Jesus was a lunatic.

And the "estimates" of this website assume he has been making prudent investments, as we all should.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
