the 108 acre territory became a city/state (country) in 1929 and the pope was paid 92 million (1 billion today) as compensation for losing most of Italy. they were defeated in 1870 and retreated to what is now vatican city.
they took the seed money and donations and began again after being broke in the early 20th century. so how much is the entire value of all the vatican's wealth ? property, assets, etc. ? i don't know yet, i just started this thread, but could we ever get the true value ? an honest assessment ?
