The head monk of Tibetan Buddhism is the Dalai Lama. Each of the four major lineages (as well as some minor lineages) have their own head as well.
That is an interesting question since it can be answered in many ways. How much is the Dalai Lama worth to Buddhists around the world? He is priceless since whether you follow his lineage or not, he represents a lot of what is good about Buddhists and being a good person. How much does the Dalai Lama own (worth)? Actually very little, as a monk and he own only a few possessions. How much does the Dalai Lama have in resources (Worth)? Because he was the head of the Tibeten government he had the resources (wealth) of the government at his disposal for use.
The Dalai Lama is the high lama in the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism. He is not the head of all Tibetan Buddhism as believed by many Westerners any more than the Roman Catholic pope represents or leads all Christians.
