. That pay stacks up to the salaries of U.S. presidents and university chancellors—but the pontiff also gets unique perks like free meals all day, a Popemobile, his own private pharmacy and more.

Shortly after white smoke billowed out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, the Roman Catholic Church named its next pope: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, the first American to take the job. Not only is it a huge honor and promotion—but it also comes with a sizable six-figure wage.

The pope is awarded a lavish salary of €30,000 (about $33,800) per month, or about $405,600 yearly,

However, becoming the pope is a much more spiritual endeavor than other high-flying leadership roles; the late Pope Francis even turned down the generous paycheck, opting to have the money donated to those in need instead.

“He’s somebody who lived as a Jesuit for decades before becoming a bishop and continued to live in the style that he’s been accustomed to as a religious throughout the rest of his life,” Rober told Fortune.

There’s no telling if Pope Leo XIV will accept the salary—but if he does, he could be making as much as some of the world’s most powerful leaders. Either way, he’ll still be enjoying ******** perks like the Popemobile and a cushy retirement.

The pope earns just as much as U.S. presidents and university chancellors

The pope’s nearly half-a-million paypacket is on par with the wages of U.S. presidents.

Government leaders receive a $400,000 baseline salary, with at least another $170,000 per year in additional allowances for official duties, travel, and entertainment. The president also has access to Air Force One, Marine One, and 24-hour Secret Service protection—saving them thousands per year in other expenditures.

Another institutional leadership job that pays in the ballpark of the pope is U.S. university chancellors. The presidents of America’s elite schools

The other perks that come with being pope: A private pharmacy and $3,300 monthly retirement fund

The pope is revered as the highest and most holiest leader of the Catholic Church, which has over a billion members. And the ******** makes sure the pontiff can lead in style.

For one, the pope usually lives in the gilded Apostolic Palace—lavish living arrangements with all expenses covered by the ********. All of his meals and day-to-day necessities are also free of charge for the pope, with unfettered access to custom, hand-tailored regalia made by top religious outfitters.

Pope Leo XIV will also have access to the Popemobile, private cars, and a fleet of vehicles at the drop of a hat. The pontiff also doesn’t have to worry about security, healthcare, or retirement anymore. He has free access to ******** medical services and a private pharmacy to ensure a healthy, long reign.

And even after the pope chooses to retire, he
