I'll tell you what it's not: Providing free homes and all expenses paid to mission presidents. It's not paying executive salaries to the top 15.

Actually, if you watch their language closely, you should find that they usually say that the church "has an unpaid clergy" or something similar, instead of "no paid clergy". The distinction is important, because they are not *technically* saying that no one is paid, just that some portion is unpaid. They just want everyone to misread their statements and think that none of the clergy are paid within the church, since that would directly contradict the standard set within the BoM.

Uchtdorf's definition is "No paid (local) clergy."

Clergy or Management? I don't see what the difference is between LDS clergy and your typical Management teams.
