In a year when Google is overhauling employee compensation to focus more on performance—and quietly pushing lower performers toward smaller bonuses or none at all—CEO Sundar Pichai walked away with a jaw-dropping Rs 90 crore ($10.

Google paid $8.27 million for CEO Sundar Pichai's personal security in 2024, according to a new filing with the The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That figure is up nearly 22% from $6.78 million in 2023, due in part to a number of security measures taken during Pichai's busy year.

Sundar Pichai's 2024 compensation totaled $10.72 million, a significant decrease from 2022 due to the absence of a triennial stock award. While his base salary remained at $2 million, a substantial portion of his package comprised stock awards.
