What is the salary of the Mormon president?

The President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) receives no money for his service to the Church. He and all other General Authorities of the Church receive only travel compensation for Church-related business. The same applies to local Church leaders as well. The Church is run entirely by lay-people, meaning that they aren't paid for their Church service, but have jobs outside of the Church in which they earn money. This stems from a verse found in the Book of Mormon, in Alma 30:34, which says "And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church, what doth it profit us to labor in the church save it were to declare the truth, that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?
