If a person can be the CEO of multiple companies, but normal humans aren’t generally allowed to hold two of the same job “because it means we’re not giving either job our full focus”, then it stands to reason that the job of CEO doesn’t require anything approaching the full focus of a human, and thus they are being overpaid by multiple orders of magnitude.

But we already knew all that.

It's not uncommon for a CEO to sit on other boards or multiple of them. I really never saw how C class positions were as demanding as people revered them to be.
