OPINION

ABBE, J. —

The single issue presented in this appeal is whether a person who hires another to kill a human being is subject to the special circumstance finding under Penal Code section 190.2 subdivision (a)(1)1 that the murder was intentional and carried out for financial gain even if the hirer is not himself shown to be financially motivated. We conclude the answer is yes and affirm.
