What is Harold Camping's Net Worth?
Harold Camping was an American Christian radio broadcaster, author, and evangelist who had a net worth of $75 million. Harold Camping was born on July 19, 1921 in Boulder, Colorado. He is perhaps best known among non-evangelical Christians as the man who predicted that Jesus Christ would return to Earth on May 21, 2011, whereupon the saved would be taken up to heaven in the rapture, and that there would follow five months of fire, brimstone, and plagues on Earth, with millions of people dying each day, culminating on October 21, 2011, with the final destruction of the world. He had previously predicted that Judgment Day would occur on or about September 6, 1994.
Beginning in 1958, he served as president of Family Radio, a California-based radio station group that broadcasts to more than 150 markets in the United States. In October 2011, he retired from active broadcasting following a stroke, but still maintained a role at Family Radio until his death. His failed predictions of the end of the world temporarily gained him a global following and millions of dollars of donations. Camping died on December 15, 2013, as a result of complications from a fall at his home two weeks earlier.
