He may choose not to "own" anything, but he is a long way from living in poverty.
That said, I do like how he seems to want to help the poor and urges people to do so.

He does not live in a massive house. He chose to live in a Vatican guesthouse apartment instead of the Apostolic Palace. The room is not a luxury suite, it consists of a sitting room with a desk, three chairs, a cabinet and large closet, a bedroom with dresser, night table and clothes stand, and a private bathroom with a shower.
This is a man who practices what he preaches and it is what separates him from the previous popes and other religious leaders.
