A commitment to the Catholic priesthood is not a commitment to being poor. It is possible for a very wealthy man to become a priest while retaining his personal wealth, because the Church has no hard and fast rules on the subject.
Religious orders such as the Dominicans, Franciscans, and Benedictines, whose members are often (not always) priests make a vow of poverty. Ordinary diocesan priests do not.
