This is a rare feat as he is a non-founding CEO of a tech industry.

In comparison, other top executives like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang got their fortune due to the founding equity stakes in their companies.

Pichai is also the tech giant’s longest-serving CEO, having completed 10 years in the role in August.

In August, Pichai shared the earnings update on X, earning praise from SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

“Just got off the earnings call – great quarter, and it was our (and my) 40th call as Alphabet. August will mark 10 years since we announced the Alphabet. Been thinking about the incredible growth in our new businesses since then – Cloud, YouTube, Play, Subscriptions etc. To give a sense of progress, in 2015 all of Alphabet’s revenue added up to $75B. YouTube and Cloud alone ended 2024 at an annual run rate of $110B,” he wrote.

Musk called the milestone “impressive” to which Pichai responded with a simple folded hands emoji.
