8. Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston, wife Bobbie sell clothes, furniture online
Brian Houston, the founder of the global megachurch network Hillsong, and his wife, Bobbie, took to social media earlier this year to sell a number of their “pre-loved” belongings. In an Instagram post, Bobbie Houston announced that the couple had listed couches, boots, jackets, bags, cushions and designer shirts for sale.
“IT’S NO SECRET THAT WE’VE SOLD OUR HOME,” she wrote. “We have gifted & donated things our entire lives, and will continue to do so — a good friend will help get some of these items to college students & local charity drop offs — but right now we are selling in order to move things properly and efficiently.”
The sale of the couple’s home, as well as their furniture and clothing, comes after Brian Houston was forced to resign from his leadership role at Hillsong following allegations of sexual misconduct as well as the accusation that he didn't inform authorities about his father's sexual abuse of a minor in the 1970s when he found out about it in the late 1990s. He was found innocent by an Australian court. For his part, Houston attributed his resignation to public statements made by the church’s board as opposed to any “mistakes” that he made.
