The Pope's compensation consists of, "a place to stay and something to eat. He does not receive a salary or a 'paycheck.'
The Pope is an elected official who, according to the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, is "the Bishop of Rome, who, in virtue of his position as successor of St. Peter, is the chief pastor of the whole Church, the Vicar of Christ upon earth."
While the Pope does not draw a formal salary he doesnt need one. The benefits and honor of such a position make up for the lack of paydays. And he does get to live in the Vatican Palace.

Room, board, clothing, food, & transportation at the nation of the Vatican.
The Pope does not get a monitary salary --- raises --- his soul and all others that he's commanded to lead into salvation.
Hey, is that goofy "Pope" show you talked about before still on in Germany???

Don't even think about it. You are never going to be Pope. Apply for something else.

Oh, it's important to know how much the pope makes, but the world's downfall is miniscule?
i don't know. I'm sure he would make about 5,000 Dinars monthly.
