According to income tax statements that GETV [Global Evangelism Television] filed with the Internal Revenue Service, the nonprofit organization drew $18.3 million in revenue in 2001, the most recent year the organization submitted a return to the IRS. That year, Hagee's total compensation package amounted to more than $1.25 million.

"I'm amazed at the income," said Pamela Smith, an accounting professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio...Smith said she wasn't aware of any nonprofit director in San Antonio who earned more than Hagee.

Critics complained that because Hagee family members were appointed as ministry officers, there was a "conflict of interest", since  they could all "determine their own salaries, benefits and other forms of compensation." Another conflict was that Hagee enjoyed royalty payments on products promoted through the donation-funded GETV - a practice specifically forbidden by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.

As for the case of Oral Roberts Uni, according to the AP:

Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.

Mrs. Roberts - who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU's "first lady" on the university's Web site - frequently had cell-phone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. to "underage males who had been provided phones at university expense."

In a chapel sermon after the lawsuit was announced, Richard Roberts revealed that God had spoken to him about the subject. Apparently, God observed that:

"We live in a litigious society. Anyone can get mad and file a lawsuit against another person whether they have a legitimate case or not...This lawsuit ... is about intimidation, blackmail and extortion."
