As a pastor and leader of a non-profit organization, Joel Osteen does not pay income tax on his salary due to the tax-exempt status of religious organizations in the United States. However, he is required to pay taxes on any personal income derived from sources outside his church, such as book sales or speaking engagements. Additionally, the church itself, Lakewood Church, is also exempt from federal income tax.
