Interesting facts have emerged on Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday at 88.
As leader of over N1.4 billion Catholics worldwide, the Pope was also Head of the Vatican, the world’s smallest sovereign country with a population of just 882.
As Pope, his salary is $0. He had no salary. His basic needs including living expenses,food, clothing, travel are taken care of by the Vatican.
Unlike many leaders, especially African Presidents/Heads of Government, Pope Francis’ net worth, CelebrityNetWorth reports, was about $100 (N157,000 in Nigeria) at the time of his death.
The Pope’s lifestyle is a reverse commentary on the thieving and lavish lifestyles of many African and Asian leaders.
CelebrityNetWorth is a website which reports estimates of the total assets and financial activities of celebrities.
It is operated by Corte Lodato LLC, which was founded by its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brian Warner in 2008. Its headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
However, the authoritative Time magazine reports that the Vatican itself,being a state, has huge net worth of about $10 billion-$15billion.
Catholic Popes and priests do not marry or have biological children and devote most of their lives to evangelical work with the church, a global institution, settling all needs of their clergymen from top to bottom.
