The monasteries were wealthy because the church was wealthy. The church taxed everybody including the peasants a tithe (this meant they had to give a tenth of their harvest to the church). Also when people died some chose to give their valuables to the church - this made it even more wealthy. Finally people paid indulgences to the church. They believed that in paying indulgences they would skip purgatory (a place of punishment) and go straight to heaven.
