Since Alphabet was created, Google needed a new CEO. The man they decided to run things was Sundar Pichai. So how much does the CEO of Google make in a year? A lot!
It has been revealed that Pichai has been awarded the equivalent of about $199 million in stock. This brings his total Alphabet earnings to roughly $650 million. However, he will not be awarded it all at once, but instead over the course of quarterly increments through 2019, and as long as he stays at his current position. This now makes Pichai the highest paid CEO in the US.
Since Alphabet was in a good mood, they also decided to give Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat roughly $38.3 million worth of shares, and Google cloud chief, Diane Greene, around $42.8 million worth of shares. I don’t know about you guys, but suddenly my life feels a lot less significant…
