An Egyptian Pharoah did not earn a salary. In early Egyptian culture the Pharaoes were considered to be gods (with this changing to messengers for the gods in later eras) and the people (nobility) were expected to submit regular gifts to appease them. This was especially true upon the death of the Pharaoh, when all were expected to offer gifts of 'unparalleled magnitude' to ease the passage of the Pharaoh into the place of the gods.
