This would run into 14th amendment issues (and the "one person, one vote" doctrine) pretty quickly. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesberry_v._Sanders and it's similar cases.

Specifically, the 14th amendment's equal protection clause is seen to apply to voting rights (of which apportionment is perhaps the most unclear, but literally giving individuals multiple votes, as opposed to different weights is sort of a beyond obvious violation).

Do you honestly think the courts will decide against corporations?

You'd be more likely to tune to your local classical station and hear techno. It'd be that out of character
