There's no way in hell that's a paid internship.

In a lot of countries, especially in Europe, internships are not allowed to be paid. If you're paying then that person isn't an intern, they're an employee and therefore should be earning a wage commensurate to that position.

If you are interning at a company and not being paid then you are still entitled to benefits, but if you start getting paid then that causes problems, especially if the amount of money you're earning isn't really a very large amount, you can end up worse off than if you weren't paid and continue to receive benefits.

An intern is supposed to be someone being trained, they're not supposed to be there just so they can worship at the feet of some self-absorbed asshat. Basically even intern isn't getting in the way and actively decreasing productivity due to needing to be shown how to do everything, then they're not an intern.
