Diocesan priests in the US make around $30,000 a year. They are expected to pay for their own food, transportation, and personal items of clothing, etc. (Lodging is generally provided.) Nobody gets rich off that.

They are not under a vow of poverty, however. If they inherit money, for example, they are permitted to keep it. A few priests may have time to have a business on the side. I would think a conservative would not object to either of those things.
