It's probably not what you would think.

White smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel earlier this month as the first-ever American Pope was elected following the death of Pope Francis.

And of course, the top job in the Catholic Church comes with remuneration.

However, it is not a typical wage that the Pope will earn.

Instead, the Vatican provide for every tiny thing for the pontiff, from housing, travel and food.

It has been reported that Pope Leo will follow in Francis' footsteps and take a far more humble approach to life in the papacy.

The Pope is reportedly entitled to a monthly wage of €2,500 (£2,100), however Pope Francis refused to accept money, so perhaps Leo will do the same?

The pontiff is also given allowance to make charitable donations, and he may be worth millions due to the papal assets and services paid for by the Vatican.

It is speculated that Pope Leo XIV earned somewhere between €4,000 and €5,000 per month while he was a Cardinal.

Pope Leo was born in Chicago, but spent much of his work for the church in Peru, where he became a naturalised citizen.

Of course given his nationality, there were questions about what he thought of Donald Trump.

However, a quick look at his activity on social media shows that he rejects Trump's stance on immigration.
