History tells that prophet Muhammed used to work as a shepherd and as a trader before his marriage to Khadija, but it never told us how could he make living after being a 'prophet'?
From my understanding that he had eleven wives to support. He had ELEVEN homes to look after. History tells us he had lands and slaves. He even gave away slaves to his daughter, Fatma.
The Quran states that prophet Muhammed was entitled to take 1/5 of the loots from every raid. Was that the only way he made living after being a prophet is by war looting? or did he do something else?

I'm sure he had money off of his land and slaves, as well as the caravans.
His followers may have financed him too? And profits from religious warfare?
Just some guesses from a Catholic.........
God bless you.
