I did not forget. The question was about the source of Graham's wealth, and the "donation barrels" were very clearly NOT part of that. All the money collected at his crusades went straight back into his ministry (from which he drew a salary), and not into his pockets.

There are A LOT of charlatans out there who manipulate religion as a way to get rich, but B. Graham was not one of them. He certainly had his flaws, but being a money-grubbing con man was not one of them.
