When Microsoft announced that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it would be acquiring Activision Bl🦩izzard, the gaming community seemed equally excited about the prospect of seeing Bobby Kotick booted out as it was about a new Crash Bandicoot game. It increasingly looks l💯ike his days are numbered with the company he's been part of for over three decades. Unfortunately, however, it ⭕also looks like his final payslip will be a generous one.
A recent report that sheds light on the acquisition reveals that Kotick is an expensive person to get rid of. With his shares in Activision totalling $410,142,075, and a severance agreement of $14,592,302 apparently assured, Microsoft would be shelling out a minimum of $424,734,377 to get rid of the figure that is accused of not just oversee🥂ing the alleged abuse at Activision Blizzard, but playing an active role in it.
As revealed by , forcing Kotick out won't be as simple as many had hoped for. Unsurprisingly, it seems that the self-confessed "🐠compulsive capitalist" has done all he can t🌟o secure himself a ridiculously over-the-top golden parachute. The report puts the already extravagant $424,734,377 figure as the minimum, too, as this does not take Kotick's stock options into account. It's likely millions will be added to his last paycheck should he exit the company.
In case you're wondering what on earth anyone would need that much money for, we actually already know. These millions could go towards buying out Republican politicians - something Kotick was 168澳洲幸运ꦦ5开奖网:recently spotted 💛doing via two secret companies.
Oh, and a friendly reminder that this is all coming from the guy who was making a fuss about how he'd onlyඣ be taking h🦩ome a salary of $62,500 in 2021, and would be "asking" not to receive any bonuses. At the time, we reached out to Activision Blizzard🙈 for clarification on this, and what exactly he would do if he was given a bonus anyway. They did not respond, and it's pretty unlikely that he'll only be taking $6🌼2,500 from his Microsoft severance deal.
