Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai received $226 million in total compensation in 2022, most of it through stock awards, according to a securities report the company filed Friday.
Pichai received $218 million in dividends last year through a three-year stock grant. His annual salary was $2 million from 2020 to 2022, the filing said. The CEO’s compensation package also included nearly $6 million for personal security in 2022.
Other top executives at Alphabet and Google made about $22 million to $35 million in annual stock awards, according to the filing.
The report comes as Alphabet begins cost restructuring measures, including layoffs in January that eliminated 12,000 workers, or 6% of its workforce. Google’s chief financial officer, Ruth Porat, announced earlier in April that the company would be cutting back on laptops and employee services to further reduce costs.
