How much salary do apostles receive?
Subject was brought up on cougarboard. Apparently a few will lose their testimonies if it approaches 500k.
Don't most of the apostles have second vacation homes on the other side of the Wasatch mountains? This would be more than most Americans have, but it is not a clear indication of salary. Whatever it is, I am betting it is less than Joel Osteen. |

I'm pretty sure that each apostle has a geographical assignment and they collect 1.5% of all tithing revenue generated by their area.

Only if they recruited all their own bishops.

General Authorities living expenses are not paid by tithing dollars. They receive some income from investments and businesses managed by the church-- I don't know the numbers, but I'd be willing to bet it is signicantly less than 500k, and likely not even 6 digits. Most general authorities were well established businessmen before receiving their calls.

I think you are parsing. To whom does it matter that their salaries don't come from tithing, but from the investment of tithing? People that want to claim we dont' have a paid clergy? |

Thankfully I think apostles are now off corporate boards (at least companies not owned by the church).

It seems as if the number is about 250K, modest given the size of the organization, and the President makes about 400K.

Likewise, not from tithing, as it has been explained to me.
