Let’s just get this out of the way: Creflo Dollar’s private jet isn’t the issue. The issue is that people are uncomfortable with a successful Black pastor having one. And we need to be honest about why.
Because if we’re going to talk about private planes, let’s talk about all the private planes.
Be clear we are not a fan of Creflo Dollar
Oh, So Now Creflo Dollar Can’t Have a Private Jet? That’s Cute.
So the other day, I was online an saw people were still complaining about Creflo Dollar and his private plane.
Let’s all clutch our pearls together. Because gasp—Creflo Dollar has a private plane. How dare a Black man of God fly through the sky and not sit in 32B next to someone’s screaming toddler with a bag of peanuts?
You would think he flew that jet straight to Heaven without TSA clearance the way some of y’all carry on.
Meanwhile, the Celebrities Are Out Here Jet-Hopping Like It’s DoorDash
Let’s talk real quick. When your favorite celebrity posts a “random Tuesday” pic boarding a jet with champagne in hand, everyone’s in the comments like,
“Yasss queen! Private life = best life 💅🏽✈️”
But the moment Creflo Dollar steps foot on a runway?
It’s:
“This is why I don’t go to church. All they want is money.”
“God wouldn’t approve.”
“Where’s the humility?”
Sweetheart, God isn’t mad about the plane—you are.
Drake literally wrapped a whole Boeing 767 in OVO owl feathers. Kim Kardashian uses her jet like a glorified Uber. Floyd Mayweather has a private jet just for his luggage. But sure, let’s drag Pastor Dollar for flying to Nairobi to preach the gospel.
Make it make sense.
I did my research, baby. And let me tell you—$65 million? That’s just the starter pack when it comes to private planes.
I looked into the "cheaper options" too, trying to see what y’all thought he should be flying. And whew... Chile.
Some of those planes look like they were built during Noah’s time.
I wouldn’t sit in them parked on the runway, let alone 30,000 feet in the air. ✈️ Nope. Not me. Not even for Jesus.
You Think the Ministry Teleports?
Creflo Dollar is not just chilling on a throne of tithes. The man runs a global ministry, writes books, speaks at international conferences, hosts tours, funds missions, supports community programs, and still finds time to show up clean on Sundays.
But yes, let’s pretend like he’s running a Ponzi scheme because he’s not flying Spirit with a three-hour layover in Atlanta.
Some of y’all act like the man bought a jet just to fly over your house and throw Bibles out the window.
Newsflash: the jet isn’t for flex. It’s for function.
"Then they say he has an ATM in his church. I mean—if you're feeling generous and need to hit the ATM, do you really want to leave the sanctuary?
Let’s be real, that’s just smart. Baby, that’s strategy."
But Let’s Be Real—This Ain’t About the Plane
It’s about you being uncomfortable with a Black man of faith having access, wealth, and options. You want him anointed, not affluent. Powerful, but not prosperous. Delivering the word of God, but still riding Greyhound.
Why? Because in your mind, broke equals holy. That’s not the Bible—that’s trauma.
You don’t blink when Joel Osteen gets on a jet. But when Creflo takes off, suddenly it's the end times? Hmm.
Final Thought: Fly, Bishop, Fly
At this point, the plane has done more miles than your judgment has range. And if you’re still stuck on that same tired talking point from 2015, maybe it's time you upgraded—mentally.
Creflo Dollar built something that requires global movement. That’s not vanity—that’s vision.
So while y’all are busy arguing about how he got to his destination, he’s already landed, preached, planted seeds, changed lives, and left.
May we all build businesses that allow us to purchase our very own jet.
