Google's Sundar Pichai made $470 million last year, for an astounding 'hourly' rate That figure, which includes a $650,000 salary and valuable stock awards, amounts to an hourly pay rate that most Americans can only ever dream about. If you do the math based on a standard 40-hour work week, Pichai earned $225,961 per hour in 2018. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median income for a full-time wage or salary worker was $900 as of the fourth quarter of 2018. That's $22.50 per hour.
Way less than somebody who can say "beautiful","stunning", "gorgeous", "incredible", "fantastic", "tremendous", "powerful", "wonderful", "revolutionize", "better than ever", "world a better place", "iPhone" and "one more thing" in a sentence
Okay, you too my friend made entry level Walmart associate's day's wage in an hour. I am all for Humanitarian capitalism or Capitalism with compassion, but capitalism must persist ! That is what pushes people to create value. As long as we have system where equal opportunities to succeed are created (Meh USC admission scandal) and most of the members of society are getting decent wage, CAPITALISM IS BETTER CHOICE THAN SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM.
“As long as” is the key here. The big players will try to fix the rules in their favor. The only counter to that is eternal vigilance, regulation. When that falters? Become your inner socialist and eat the rich.
Sundar Hiring Committee.. Larry, Sergey and Eric. All multi-billionaires. Sundar Team matching = just take Google Inc. Sundar competing offers = CEO of Uber, CEO of Twitter, CEO of MSFT. I think he got lowballed at G.

The "being underpaid" vibe flows top down here. Just like all other BS.
