Rev. Ike’s opulent lifestyle — he was given at one point to wearing a gold watch, a silver-and-diamond tie pin, a silver bracelet and a large gold ring studded with more than a dozen diamonds — was supported by millions of dollars in contributions to his church.
“I am the first black man in America to preach positive self-image psychology to the black masses within a church setting,” he told The Times in 1976.

There were six church-owned residences for Rev. Ike, who at the time spent much of the winter in Southern California.
