The fact that you dont actually know how poor was prophet :saw: shows how unaware you are of his life. So before you pose questions like whether prophet :saw: paid zakah or why he did not pay zakah first read about his blessed life.
There is an incident in one battlefield a companion of the prophet :saw: came and told him that he is having to tie up a stone on his stomach to help himself against his hunger. Upon seeing this prophet :saw: raised his garment to show the companion that if he has tied up one stone on his stomach then the phophet of Allah :saw: has tied up two stones on his stomach because of hunger. Now, you can imagine, when does a person resorts to tying a stone on his stomach. And based on that you determine if such people were subject to zakah.
Also read about zakah to see who qualifies to pay zakah and what are the conditions for which one becomes responsible for paying zakah.
