    Getting paid $20 million to not do anything.

    Then becoming the President of Stanford.
    He's the most successful person on the show.

    Bighead didn't know his severance changed when he got promoted to a higher level. The 3 year contract had a severance of 2 million, but his current promoted job as it's supposed to be more impactful, had an actual severance of 20 million (because they wouldn't generally fire these kind of people, they are those who quit on their own most of the time to move somewhere else or just to not lose face)
