ICC will be paying him by providing a certain percentage on all other types of facilities that the board pays to its top officials and even higher members. Though the amounts the ICC pays its staff are not publicly known, what is known is that there is a compensation format that is used for the Chairman when they attend meetings and conduct other tasks which are related to cricket and which may benefit the overall format of the game as well as its value on a global level increases.
