Televangelist who wants $54 million jet says he’ll donate old jet
(ABC News) – A Louisiana-based televangelist swiped back at critics of his recent request for a $54 million jet after he asked his followers to help him replace his 12-year-old private jet.
Speaking out for the first time since his comment went viral this week, prosperity gospel preacher Jesse Duplantis said he had “never done anything wrong” and attempted to clear up misconceptions of his ministry, including reports that he currently owns three private jets — all sanctioned by his followers.
“There was a misnomer on that one. I said I’ve had three jets, I don’t have three jets,” he said in an interview with ABC News’ “Good Morning America” on Wednesday. “Two of them now are in other ministries. I only own one airplane now.”
