A millionaire Pope? When he died, Pope Francis had barely $100 in personal assets. He had no bank accounts, properties, or investments in his name.
Although he could have earned 340,000 euros a year, he never accepted a salary from the Vatican, as he took a vow of poverty and lived on the bare minimum.
Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis) renounced the luxuries of the papal palace and chose to live in the simple Casa Santa Marta. All his expenses were covered, but his lifestyle was austere and consistent with what he preached.

His wake will be held in St. Peter’s Basilica, and his burial will be held Saturday the 26th at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, not in the Vatican like his predecessors. His coffin is made of wood.
His “legacy” was not material… but MORAL: HUMILITY, CONSISTENCY, and SERVICE.
A great EXAMPLE!!
Thank you for everything! ๐
