I believe he is because of his obsession and demand with money, but Pain deserves the most money tbh.

Writing that Kakuzu liked money was stupid anyways. He could just take what he wanted from like 99% of all the ninja on the globe.

Not really, kakuzu is probably not intrested in akatsuki's budget. Thats probably weak compared to what the black market offers him.

Village Data
Leader Hanzō, Pain, Konan
Symbol Amegakure Symbol
Amegakure (雨隠れの里, Amegakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Rain) is a small but highly industrialised hidden village located in an unnamed country. As its name suggests, it rains almost constantly in Amegakure and the surrounding area. All the water seemingly ends in a large lake that surrounds the village.
Ame ninja are said to be notoriously short tempered,[1] while their village trains them to their fullest potential, resulting in the creation of many original techniques.[2] Ame is frequently hired for assassination missions, an area of expertise prized by many countries.[3] A common trait of shinobi from this village is wearing rebreathers.

We have no idea how much the Akatsuki members individually are payed. But what we do know is that the Akatsuki organization manages currency and sometimes takes jobs (like deidara) for clients. By manga portrayal Kakuzu is easily the highest paid member. Nagato may be the leader of his country but he is probably apathetic towards large amounts of money and is focused on completing the goals he sets for the Akatsuki.

Manga facts.
Kakuzu was a greedy and miserly individual, arranging goals in terms of the highest profit he could gain from them, and was often unwilling to involve himself in something if there was nothing to gain from it, as well as claiming that he tended to forget opponents who were not worth any money after he was done with them. He even remarked that money is the only dependable thing in the world. Due to this end, he referred to himself as the "Treasurer of Akatsuki". Given his friendly relationship with Zangei, his bounty officer, it would seem he collected bounties rather frequently to earn cash, and did so (or at least tried) during his missions on several occasions. The frequent side-tasks and devotion to money were both major points of contention between Hidan and Kakuzu. He also seemed to respect an opponent who thinks well, as shown with his reaction to Kakashi's counters to Kakuzu's masks, and Shikamaru's quick analysis of Hidan's curse, even mentioning Shikamaru would have been a good bounty in the future.

It makes sense that the group had an accountant but to say hes the richest when he could take whatever he wanted from all the ninjas he killed is dumb.

Nagato can have buildings built to facilitate his jutsu. Kakuzu sells dead monks in bathrooms for money. Obviously Nagato is wealthier.

kakuzu is strong but not unbeatable. Theres a reason why he was worried about more konoha ninja joining the fight

Pain assigned one member of the Akatsuki to be a banker for the organization. He could be the most paid due to all the dirty work he has done.

having a industrialised village doesnt mean you get 100% of its income , lmao kakuzu gets paid through his bounties which all together surely collects more cash at an greater pace.

In an economy the village gets money by taxing and other services to facilitate the people who stay there. The village is paid, the Akatuski aided wars and were paid for by other villages. The Akatuki is about that life...

Lmao i am speaking about Amegakure's economy alone. Akatsuki was a secret worldwide mercenary organisation, of course they collect money from all five nations. Amegakure is closed from the outer world, i suspect their economy suffered when Hanzo's reign over the nation had its end.

Don't know if he was the highest paid member, but he was the coolest for sure.
