Like when Patty married Troy McClure?

This sentence from a Wall Street Journal report (subs. req'd) on corporate kleptocrat Conrad Black needs some elaboration:

As reported, Black also gave his wife [Barbara Amiel] a "no-show" corporate job that paid more than $1.1 million a year, but didn't require any work.

Errr..some no-show position at the company, or the job of being his wife?
