I guess it is how you define poverty.

Even priests, bishops, cardinals, monks, nuns, and other clergy members, and Church employees are provided with food, shelter, paychecks, healthcare, and retirement benefits.

It is not the case that all Catholic clergy, nuns, monks, et cetera take vows of poverty. Only some orders require that.
