Newly appointed Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol won’t be required to relocate to the company’s headquarters in Seattle when he joins the coffee giant next month.

Instead, Starbucks says Niccol can live in his home in Newport Beach, California and commute to Starbucks’ head office 1,000 miles away on a corporate jet, according to the new CEO’s offer letter, which was made public in an SEC filing last week.

In his new role, Niccol, 50, will be paid a base salary of $1.6 million annually and has the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus that could range from $3.6 million to $7.2 million depending on his performance. He will also be eligible for annual equity awards worth up to $23 million.

    Bold of you to assume the people who replace the billionaires we kill would be better

        and a sharpening stone is pretty cheap.

        alternatively, a blunt blade might be a better motivator.

          I used to have a bagel guillotine. Sometimes it would catch and you’ll have to take a second go at it, but you know what? It always made it through in the end.

        I’m sorry, do you need to be reminded how the French Revolution ended?
