Google parent Alphabet discloses how much it compensated CEO Sundar Pichai in 2022

 Google reported his salary for the year came in at $2 million

Google parent Alphabet on Friday disclosed how much compensation it gave CEO Sundar Pichai for the prior year.

Pichai’s 2022 pay totaled approximately $226 million. The tech giant included the information in its latest proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Of the roughly $226 million in Pichai’s total compensation, he got about $218 million’s worth of stock awards. That, according to the SEC filing, came on top of his $2 million salary as well as almost $5.95 million in "all other compensation."

ichai’s CEO stock awards take place on a triennial basis. The one he received in 2022 had the same on-target value of the one he received in 2019, though the latest one also saw an increased percentage of performance stock units (PSU) and a higher performance requirement for on-target PSU payout, things a Google spokesperson pointed to in an 8-K filing when reached for comment.

The "all other compensation" section counted $5.935 million for "personal security" for Pichai and "generally consists of our 401(K) plan or Roth plan company match of up to $10,250 and personal use of company aircraft, unless otherwise noted," Google said in the Friday proxy statement.

In 2021, Pichai earned $6.3 million. His compensation in the year prior to that was $7.4 million. His salary for both of those years was $2 million as well, meaning it has stayed flat.

His total compensation was $280.6 million in 2019, the most recent year prior to 2022 that he received stock awards, according to 2020 SEC filing.

Google said Pichai’s compensation in 2022 represented a 808:1 ratio to what the median employee made. The company pegged $279,800 as the median for all employees.

The company revealed in January it would be trimming its headcount by 12,000, with Pichai saying in a memo posted on Google’s website at the time that it "hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today" after seeing "periods of dramatic growth" over two years.
