Starting out in 1961 with a single program on a Virginia Beach UHF station,
televangelist Pat Robertson has parlayed his TV ministry into a seamless empire of
profit and nonprofit organizations that have made him a multimillionaire. In
addition to supporting the Christian Coalition and his other political efforts,
Robertson's holdings have earned him the trappings of a very rich man: company
jets, university buildings and an 11,000-square-foot, $1.17-million mountaintop
retreat in rural Virginia. Do you own Reeboks? Reebok is a partner in
Robertson's cable fitness channel. Do you receive The Family Channel? Have you
bought a ticket to the Ice Capades lately? Do you
watch Mary Tyler Moore Show reruns? If so, then you are, in effect, a
Robertson contributor. Below, a virtual annual report.
