Was Jesus poor?

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He
was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through
His poverty might become rich.
(II Corinthians 8:9 NKJV)
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who,
being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal
with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a
bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found
in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became
obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”
(Philippians 2:5-8 NKJV)
