NEW DELHI :Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, has become a billionaire after the company gained over $1 trillion in market value since 2023.
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has become a billionaire after the tech giant added over $1 trillion in market value and provided 120% returns to investors since 2023. As Alphabet’s shares closed at an all-time high, the 53-year-old Indian-origin CEO became worth $1.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
This is an especially rare feat for a non-founding CEO, especially in the tech industry. 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. Hindustan Times
