While a CEO of an organization of a similar size could expect to make a salary of multiple millions of dollars annually, the Pope does not in fact receive a salary - at least not while he’s still alive. Traditionally, Popes earn 3 coins per year: one gold, one silver, and one copper. Upon their death, 3 bags are placed in their coffins containing the coins accumulated in their papacy.

While a parish priest earns around $25,000-$35,000, and Cardinals are entitled to the “Cardinals' plate" (today set at 5,000 euros per month, which is designed to pay their living expenses), the Pope's living expenses (such as food, travel, housing in Santa Marta, etc.) are handled out of Curia funds. In the unique case of Pope Emeritus Benedict who lives in retirement, he is given a monthly stipend of $2,500 Euros.

Even though the Pope and clergy have enormous responsibilities like a CEO or business owner, and do have living costs to cover, their goal is not financial wealth, but God’s work instead.

The pope is the life president of a country. It is not about what he earns. The entire Wealth and Assets of the Vatican city are under his control until he dies. The pope is rich anyone, who tries to argue otherwise is just being economical with the truth

What's this one saying
The Pope is rich
How can he be rich when he doesn't own the said wealth.
It's only under his watch until he dies

So according to you, because Nigeria is rich then Buhari is rich because he is the president

That's the Nigerian understanding. Public service has become commercialized so leaders are seen as Business CEOs
