So if he were to give himself a bonus and use that money to build the house would it still be illegal? Genuinely asking
No CEO of a public company has the power to just "give himself a bonus" if the sum is to be any more than pocket money. The board has to approve it.
The board would need to approve of that bonus, and in turn the board is accountable to shareholders. If a CEO starts using a public company as a personal piggy bank, shareholders have grounds to sue.
