The square footage of Jimmy and Frances’ house alone is 9,337 square feet. One of Swaggart’s bathrooms in his “cottage” boasts a four-columned Jacuzzi with a gold swan that spouts water into an eight foot long tub. That, however, is a stretch even for a seasoned tale-bearer such as Swaggart. Swaggart once described his house as a modest two bedroom cottage. His estate includes three houses, a gazebo, a pond, and twenty landscaped acres. Swaggart’s personal home sits on some of the most expensive real estate in the Baton Rouge. It also does not include proceeds from the mountains of books, CDs and Bibles that the ministry relentlessly peddles, or the untold millions Swaggart receives in rental income from his extensive real estate holdings. That sum does not include the donations that are called in, mailed in, or made online during the rest of the month. With the launch of his SonLife Broadcasting Network, Swaggart is now pulling in roughly half a million per day during his monthly four day beg-a-thon. It was a ministry not only ravaged by greed, lust and hypocrisy but one driven to extremes to hide their dirty secrets from deceived donors at all costs.įor those of you who think Jimmy Swaggart’s peccadilloes in the 80’s permanently knocked him out of the televangelism arena, think again. Her day to day dealings there brought her in close and frequent contact with the ministry’s major players and gave her rare, behind the scene glimpses of a ministry with far too many secrets.
