Board Compensation and Independence
Board compensation for public companies consists of a current income of 100 to 150 grand and equity with an option value of around 100 grand. Over five years, joining a successful company board could yield millions in stock appreciation. Lead directors may accumulate billions in equity. Independence on the board is crucial to represent the majority of shareholders and provide unbiased oversight, especially for individuals who have not driven the company's success.
