Related word: sinecural (adjective) - describes something related to a sinecure.

A more thorough explanation:

A sinecure is a job or position that pays a salary but has no real responsibilities or duties.

  • John was given a sinecure at the company, where he was paid a lot of money but didn't have to do any work.
  • The position of the king's jester was a sinecure, as he was only required to entertain the king and his guests.
