A video advertising the position was posted on Yas Island's Instagram account on Monday, with the American comedian presenting what the team are calling the "world's best job".

Aside from the cash incentive, the ambassador will be flown to the UAE capital in business class. He or she will stay at the Fabulous Suite of W Abu Dhabi Yas Island for 60 days.

The winner will get to experience karting sessions on the Formula 1 track, as well as indoor climbing and skydiving at Clymb.

They'll be given two Yas Theme Parks annual passes, for unlimited access to Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and Warner Bros World. The gig also comes with a 60-day club membership package at Yas Links Golf Club, with golfing sessions thrown in.

The ambassador can also expect to be chauffeured around in a luxury car while they're there, because “that’s how Yas Island ambassadors do it", according to a description on the dedicated website.
