Instead, the Vatican covers all his needs\u2014housing, food, transport, healthcare, and security. Though estimates suggest he could be paid around \u20ac2,500 ($2,650) per month, this is more of a stipend than a true wage.<\/p>\n<p>Like Pope Francis before him, Pope Leo XIV is expected to live simply and focus on service, not wealth. Francis, known for his frugality, refused a salary and directed resources to charitable causes\u2014once donating $215,000 to prisoners in Rome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the Pope wealthy?<\/strong> Not personally. While the Pope has access to vast resources\u2014including property, vehicles, and charitable funds\u2014these belong to the Church, not to him personally. Estimates place Francis\u2019s net worth at up to $12 million, largely tied to these privileges.<\/p>\n<p>The Vatican itself is funded by global donations, museum income, and tourism. In 2013, it earned $315 million and spent $348 million.<\/p>\n<p>In short, while the Pope doesn\u2019t get a paycheck, he leads a life rich in purpose, not profit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>How Much Does the Pope Get Paid?
