This is a good outcome for him and his church especially when folks like me had been decrying him. However I noticed their church has gone from 20,000 to 10,000 members.
There is nothing wrong being a rich Christian or even Pastor but note that it is really much harder to include the poor, sick and disenfranchised as a result.
My late father quit church as a teenager because he was too poor to keep up with his richer friends. It was as simple as just having a few coins for the offering plate. He didn't have even that since he had been orphaned from twelve. To avoid the embarrassment he quietly left.
