The Times values the package at $398 million—one of the largest payouts ever (the top payout being the $550 million paid to Michael Eisner in 1997). Among the retirement perks include Exxon’s continued payment of Raymond’s country club fees, use of the company aircraft, and a one-year consulting gig (paying $1 million). Not surprisingly, the Times is quite critical of the arranagement.
