If Drummond got 0.1% Equity as a Director, it would've been worth $3.4M the day he joined and if he wasn't diluted, it would be worth $40M today. (I realize that both of those assumptions are unlikely, but it's still interesting as an example)

It's pretty unlikely that Drummond got any Uber equity. He isn't an independent director, he's representing Google as an investor on Uber's board.

This is a good point -- I was thinking of our process to secure independent directors.
