Don Mattrick gets about $15M for leaving Zynga

The former chief executive officer of Zynga makes a few million dollars for resigning his position.

Over the next two years, Zynga will pay $4 million to Mattrick as part of his severance package, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, Zynga will also pay Mattrick his bonus for the days he worked in 2015, which will probably amount to around $1 million. On top of that, Zynga will immediately vest a little over in 5.1 million shares that are worth around $10 million total. That brings the grand total to somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million for Mattrick.
