Ajahn Amaro, is Theravāda Buddhist monk and teacher, and abbot of the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery at South East England, a centre for ordinary people as for monastics, inspired by the Thai Forest Tradition and the teachings of Ajahn Chah.

Ajahn Amaro has no money since 1978, and this because these are the rules of the Buddha, which say that monks are not allowed to have money. And Ajahn Amaro says he never suffered from not having something to eat since then.
