No one is to my knowledge getting a BPF award while still driving around in a Ferrari or vacationing on the yacht, or even letting their 401k or PTO bank go untouched.

Its also up to us members to ensure we elect responsible board members who will award money fairly and allow for proper oversight of the system.
