Just read that the new pope—Robert Francis Prevost, first U.S.-born one—could be making some serious money. Like, we're talking 30k euros a month, which is over $410k yearly. Wild, right? But here's the thing, his pope net worth situation is actually pretty unclear because he might not even take the payments. Apparently Pope Francis turned it down and gave it to charity instead. So this whole pope net worth thing might be theoretical. What's interesting is the Vatican covers everything anyway—housing, food, healthcare, travel. So the guy doesn't exactly need the paycheck. If he does retire, there's a pension too. The real question is whether Pope Leo XIV will actually pocket that money or do what his predecessor did. Either way, pope net worth discussions are kind of wild when you think about it—the dude took a vow of poverty, so all this income stuff feels beside the point. Curious what he'll actually do with it.
