The Pope doesn't get paid anything except a very small amount for personal items.
When JPII died he had only a few books and a watch. That is it.
Everything that he needs is provided by the Church.

He does not get paid a salary, his living needs are paid by the church, and he recieves a stripend to pay for perosnal items needed. The church provides his travel, church airplane, car and so on. An example when the previous Pope died, besides some writings and books, he had nothing.

The pope doesn't have a salary. he has no need of money, since everything he needs is given to him by the church.

ZERO. He borrows a few lira if he has to go somewhere without his own car, aids, body guards, etc. Actually since the Pope is the head of the Catholic church he is a multi-billionaire.

He should not have one---for as Jesus told his disciples--"you received free, you give free."(Matthew 10:8)
Our elders are not paid--they have secular jobs to support themselves and their families.
