    Snopes writer here: While it is true that the Dalai Lama's net worth is 150 million dollars, it's on a Bermudan bank account so it doesn't count.

      Here’s another Snopes take:

      The Dalai Lama is a religious leader for the Tibetan sect of Buddhism and lives in poverty. His net worth is a dollar because he has no possessions other than bare necessities.

      The failson lama has a private corporation that oversees his affairs similar to the royal family in England. That company, which handles his travel and foreign engagement similar to a family office, has $150 million in assets.
