You can have board members that aren't shareholders like Al Gore being on Apple's board. You pay them in options like board advisors but they can vote.

So you give votes on your board of directors to token representatives with no skin in the game?

Like all major corporation boards? Amazon and Google have college professors, Oakley has Michael Jordan, Tesla has the owner of Ebony Magazine, Boeing has the former ambassador to Japan. Can you name a company that all board members have skin in the game? I can't.
