He'll be on the board of directors of like maybe as many as 10 companies. It could be all the companies you mentioned. I have no idea how much those positions pay but it doesn't matter - he'll use those seats as networking, leverage and for grifting. Watch him get his vile, grifty daughter on the boards too. Fuckers.
He'll get some sweet, sweet sinecure (At perhaps Amazon?) with a title like special senior consultant. He'll get paid seven figures and he won't actually have to do any real work. If he likes to travel - he'll "consult" in Italy or Japan or Brazil or wherever he wants to go on the snazzy corporate jet with whoever he wants to travel with him. He'll get other perks up the yazoo. He probably will do nearly all his "work" remotely. But he might actually have to physically go to a location in the US a few times a year for show.
He'll actually get far more than seven figures annually due to his stock options and the fact that the US media sucks ass. So when Manchin is on year 5 (or whatever) of his Amazon gig and he cashes them in - he'll get $60 million or whatever. And the media will pretend that's not somehow actually part of the way Amazon pays him. It's some kind of magic event not directly connected to his job.
Speeches. He goes somewhere, opens his mouth, the wordy words come out for a couple hours and they give him $100,000 or whatever,
I'm sure there are ez grifts beyond the board of directors, sinecures, and speeches but they aren't coming to mind right now.

The salaries of Boards of Director in the US range from $20,665 to $560,142 , with a median salary of $100,898.
As I understand it - their entire "job" is going to meetings a few times a year. And many grifters are on loads of board of directors. Ez money.
Edit
MasterShakeVoice mentioned an obvious grift I forgot about...
There are also various Foundation/NGO grifts. And you can sell access to foreign governments like Larry Summers or Tony Blair, although Manchin probably isn't actually diplomatic enough for that
yeah, this is pretty much my guess too. he's also already made many millions during his career, so everything he gets is just a bonus to him. he could not give less of a fuck about anyone else.
Oh so this is Manchin's game
A job at Amazon, WaPo or Twitch
Personally I'm excited for manchins twitch streamer arc
Watching the deficit clock for 24 hours challenge live
Twitch plays the senate

My hunch...

Ah. That too. How could I forget that?
You never know. He loves money.
