In the US I frequently see this:

Guy hired as CEO

Guy gets such absurd compensation he becomes a near billionaire and major stockholder after ~5 years.

Guy is elected to the board for his amazing credentials (billionaire major stockholder)

Retires at 40 to being a "full time" board member, and chills around company the rest of his life swimming in money and free shit
