Google CEO Salary

Google's CEO base salary is $2 million per year. In addition to the base salary, the CEO of the company also earns stock awards and other compensations that go well beyond its base salary. It's important to remark that regarding the CEO job and other top executives' roles, what matters is not the base salary but rather the performance-based compensation. For example, the case of Sundar Pichai, who potentially earned hundreds of millions in stock awards in the last years based on performance alone. Sundar Pichai might be worth more than 500 million dollars. Indeed, the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, perceived a base salary of 2 million dollars in 2022. In addition, between 2019-2022 alone, he perceived a total compensation (comprising base salary, stock awards, and other bonuses) of $294 million, making him worth more than 300 million dollars at current market value. Over the years, Pichai has sold part of his stocks, making his net worth pass 500 million dollars. Or the case of Satya Nadella, which, as of 2022, had over 763K Microsoft's stock, valued at $190 million. As of 2022, Satya Nadella had 763,518, valued at $190 million at Microsoft's current market value. Nadella also got a $2.5 million base salary in 2022, plus $42.27 million in stock awards and over $10 million in non-stock incentives. Nadella sold hundreds of millions of dollars of Microsoft stocks in the last ten years, making him a centi-millionaire. In 2022, 96% of Nadella's salary was performance-based, whereas only 4% comprised a base salary.
