    Is it possible to gain this without employing 10 people, or is this an absolute requirement?

    syrre,

    You should carefully examine the tax consequences of obtaining a US green card. You will be liable on your global income and may find it difficult or impossible to open accounts with various financial institutions around the world which don't wish to deal with reporting requirements newly imposed by the US government.

    That's good piece of advice. Media reports a small number of (exceptionally) well-off US entrepreneurs denounce US citizenship in order to get tax advantages for their overseas businesses.

    Consider that divorse in the US can be costly and an unemployed spouse of a high-earner may receive most of the common property + alimonies in a settlement.

    true! but! Prenuptial agreement! but in reality-yes, it would be hard to find honest person for this move. but not impossible.
    L1 is also decent option

    Ok thanks, I am sure thats a valid point, but 90-95% of my activities will still be done through non-us companies no matter where I reside.
