Does Joel Osteen Really Own A $325,000 Ferrari?

August 2022 ยท 1 minute read

As rumor-debunking site Snopes reports, the photos making the rounds of the internet in July 2021 showed a black sports car, purportedly a $325,000 Ferrari, belonging to Joel Osteen, and captioned it with a message about the need to tax churches. However, the website notes that the car is not Osteen's, but rather, it's an "unrelated vehicle." Further, there are no photos or videos showing Osteen driving his reported ride.

Of course, it's impossible to prove a negative, so while the photo that became a meme in the summer of 2021 doesn't show Osteen's car, there's no way of saying that he doesn't own a Ferrari. Or a Lamborghini. Or a Honda Accord, for that matter.

Snopes writer Dan Evon notes that it's actually quite possible that Osteen, with his vast wealth, has purchased one or more exotic cars, maybe even a Ferrari or two. But there is simply no way of knowing for certain. What we do know, however, is that the viral meme from these past few weeks isn't true.
