They're not paying them for good looks
It was announced earlier this year that Bernanke had joined PIMCO as an advisor but this is a bit more formal.
Greenspan worked for PIMCO after leaving the Fed.

Trichet and Gordon Brown won't be working for free either.
Truly, no one is more qualified to buy bonds than the printmaster.
