contents We show that $h_\infty(X+Y)\leq h_\infty(Z+W)$, where $X, Y$ are independent log-concave random variables, and $Z, W$ are exponential random variables having the same respective $\infty$-Rényi entropies. Analogs for integer-valued monotone log-concave random variables are also obtained. Our main tools are decreasing rearrangement, majorization, and the change of measure.
