As well as a $5 million dollar SoHo townhouse, an undisclosed condo in Florida and various trips around the world including an African safari 'ministry' vacation.

In order to tenure his resignation, he made the following list of demands:

* Health- and life-insurance benefits until age 72

* A gift to a charity in Cooper’s honor

* A “thank-you” payment to Cooper of an unknown amount

* $200,000 a year for seven years for staff and support to continue his ministry of service

* The right for Cooper and his wife to be buried in Trinity’s historic graveyard.



...how many hundreds of millions are we losing tax revenue on by supplying these organizations with tax-exempt status?
