Google CEO Pichai Set to Cash In $380 Million Award This Week
Gold Silver Reports (GSR) – Google CEO Pichai Set to Cash In $380 Million Award This Week – Pichai, 45, who has led Alphabet Inc.’s Google since 2015, received the shares before his promotion to senior vice president of products a year earlier, when he took over many of co-founder Larry Page’s responsibilities. The award swelled in value as Alphabet’s stock surged 90 percent since the grant date, compared with a 39 percent advance of the S&P 500. He has received two more nine-figure stock grants since then. The company has yet to disclose Pichai’s compensation for 2017.
