Breaking into the billion-dollar club 10 years in, Google's CEO now joins the ranks of the world's richest. But who are the shareholders that helped him get there?
Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has reportedly joined the exclusive club of billionaires, but the search engine giant's original founders still hold the majority of Alphabet's largest share.
According to reports, Pichai, who has served as the CEO of Google for the past 10 years, has raked in an estimated net worth of $400 million. This figure, predominantly comprising stock, has been accumulated over the course of Pichai's tenure since 2015.
Despite Pichai's recent billionaire status, the largest share of Alphabet still belongs to its original founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who are estimated to be worth $100 billion and $96.5 billion, respectively. Page and Brin, who created Google back in 1998, still collectively own around 6% of the company's outstanding stock.
Other prominent shareholders include the company's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt, who owns around 2.4% of the company, and early investor and board member, Jeff Bezos.
With Pichai's recent billionaire status and the mysterious disappearance of founder Larry Page, the future of Google and its shareholders remains a fascinating topic for public debate.
