US EditionBaseball signed by Pope Francis to fetch thousands at auction
- Pope Francis died on 21 April 2025, prompting widespread discussion about the extent of his personal wealth.
- Social media and various articles reported conflicting claims about his wealth, ranging from $100 to $100 million, based on different valuation methods.
- Sources agree Pope Francis lived modestly, declined a salary, broke tradition by living in a Vatican guesthouse, and followed Jesuit principles of poverty.
- Estimates varied because some valued personal assets including cars and housing tied to the papal office, while others excluded these, with The Mirror calling his net worth 'jaw-dropping'.
- The disparity in wealth estimates highlights differences in accounting for papal assets, and no public data confirm the Pope’s personal estate beyond office-related holdings.
