GM's dont game much money at all...
In fact; most games are just volunteer work... if its a major game then your looking at probably 8-12 $ an hour (us currency)

From my experiances anyway

Well, what exactly did you have in mind?
A GM for IN-game or OUT-game, like a boosted char in a game to help members or someone out of the game who sorts out support & stuff?
Most are Volunteer as the first guy said, some get paid dependant on their actual job.

I think GMs are just people that actually helped make the game, the developers give their programmers a GM spot just for helping them make the game I guess.

Well "Game-Moderators" moderate the servers, and are not part of the actually development of the game (Skills, databases, technical, etc.)

And VGM's, are VOLUNTEER GM's, meaning they don't get paid.

GM pay is very low :P.

They make $17 an hour in most companies. Developers make more though. GMs make enough just to get by.

To find out have a look on some sites that are offering Jobs. I know Jagex are always hiring. Seems to be 15 - 30k GBP a year for most jobs but GM is about 15k GBP but you get some benefits from them I heard as well...

$15 an hour is probably an entry level fee as that's very low? I make more money laying bricks...

30k GBP isn't too bad for online games management.
I suppose the work may be a lil hectic & dul at times (When things go wrong E.G - Server lagging, then your drowned in complaining emails)
In fact, you could do that from home for the company.
I could do that, i do it for MMOsite on the answer section.

I think being a GM is definitely a job you must have a passion for, the pay isn't great, so you must love it enough to get by.
