Attached is the truth! The only place that a publicly-traded company will disclose the compensation it pays to executives is in their proxy statement (Form DEF 14A), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Among other things, it lists the compensation of the CEO, CFO and the three other most highly compensated executive officers for the current and past two fiscal years.
Unfortunetely, in 2014, Mr. Pichai was not one of those five people. Below is the proof.
Take a good look at the salary column in the table below. The highest base you'll see is $1.2 million. It is safe to say that the $50 million salary being quoted in other answers on this page (including the collapsed answers) is ridiculous and a bunch of BS.
And please, not placing too much reliance on or giving too much credibility to an article that says, "it is said to be $50 million....<snip>." Said by whom? The guy selling hot dogs on the corner? Bleeeah! :(
Note, that Mr. Pichai's compensation will be made a matter of public record on or around April 23, 2016, when the company files its Proxy Statement for 2015. Mr. Pichai's appointment to CEO will not take place until the Alphabet merger has been completed. They announced 'plans' for the merger only days ago.
