Does Pres Monson get paid?
Hi I was wondering if Pres Monson gets paid? I thought that he did for the presidential stuff and volunteers for the prophet stuff. What is the difference between the two?

President Monson lives the law of consecration I believe. That means he gave up all his personal funds to the church, and the church gives him back what is sufficient for his needs. He is prophet full time, therefore technicially the church has to pay him what he needs in order to provide for himself and his family.

I think he gets a living stipend, but not a paycheck, per se. Someone else might know better than I, though.

If I am not mistaken they also get something for the books they write.

Yes, he does. I suppose.. "compensated" is a better word to use. His needs are taken care of by the Church but he also gets a stipend (that's fairly generous IIRC). He doesn't live a luxurious life style by any means, but he could.

What do you consider 'generous' and how do you know what it is?

It's what I've heard, Mahone, but I've never seen anything authoritative to back it up.
Sounds nice, though, doesn't it?

All General Authorities (and mission presidents, I believe) are eligible to receive a modest living stipend. From what I have heard, few actually accept the stipend. I don't know if President Monson does not not -- it would be fine with me if he did -- but I think it's entirely possible that he makes enough off of book royalties and retirement income that he does not need the stipend.
