I think it was Joseph F. Smith who was so thrifty that he wore awful threadbare cheap suits and had to be asked to buy new ones.
It's a tricky thing, because we like to brag that we have a lay clergy, and then ascribe ill-intentions to non-lay-clergy (in not so many words), but then we have to reconcile our own professional clergy (GAs and CES). |

My mission president was a lifelon CES employee. And in his 40's. So hardly wealthy and definitely not retired. And he had 3 kids at home and 2 on missions. So I'm sure there was some sort of allowance involved there. While a lot of mission presidents are wealthy and/or retired, not all are.
