At least at the companies where I worked. One company paid their board members $20-30K a meeting (teleconference) & $5-7K more if it was held at corporate or some other location, & of course, all expenses paid by the company. There was a meeting every quarter. Oh, & stock options.

Other companies were similar & these were not huge companies.
