> easy money

Kind of a strange thing to say 350k to work as a board member is easy money, when the requirement to become a board member in the first place is to be a CEO who was previously being paid tens of millions of dollars a year.

There is no requirement to have formerly been a CEO. There are no requirements at all for sitting on a board.

Still being paid millions to be CEO. Being on a board is nowhere near a full time commitment.

This is not true at all. There is zero requirement that sitting on board requires prior experience as a CEO.

I can imagine that the knowledge one gathers from being on the board is worth much more than that.
