Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai now figures in among one of the world's highest-paid executives after search engine's parent company Alphabet Inc awarded him restricted stock worth about $199 million.
According to a regulatory filing by Alphabet, the US-based company awarded Pichai 273,328 Class C Google stock units on February 3.
The valuation is based on the stock's closing price on that date, though subsequent declines in Alphabet shares put the current value at about $182 million.
On the same day, Pichai sold 375 Class A common shares at a price of $786.28 each, and 3,625 Class C capital stock at a price of $768.84 each, the filing said.
The award is the biggest ever given to a Google executive officer whose equity grants have to be reported in filings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
