But McDonald's will pay Thompson $3 million for "consulting services," according to a report by CNBC. His replacement, Steve Easterbrook, will earn a salary of $1.1 million.
Thompson retired on March 1 after 25 years with the fast-food chain.
Easterbrook was previously the senior executive brand president and chief brand officer.
McDonald's has been losing market share in the US and performance at its restaurants declined for most of Thompson's tenure.

Thompson, 51, joined McDonald's as an engineer in 1990. He earned $9.5 million in 2013, according to Bloomberg.
