Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and Google’s parent company Alphabet, made nearly $226 million in 2022, according to a new filing from Alphabet. The rest of the compensation came from a $2 million base salary and more than $5 million for a private security detail. It is a big boost for Pichai, who made just over $6 million in 2021 and $7.4 million in 2020. Pichai’s stock boosts come every three years, in 2019 he received a similar package of $281 million. Ballooning CEO compensation has been a controversial topic in recent years.
