Exact dollar amounts? No...I don't have those figures. But I can tell you, with all certainty, that the minister of the last church that I was affiliated with, wore Itallian leather shoes, and drove a Lexus. Seems pretty comfortable to me.
I'm with Art. I'm all for taxing the property of religious institutions. That way, the money that is given for "charity", is more likely to go that direction. As opposed to ostentatious architecture.
