Google CEO Sundar Pichai's total earnings in 2018, after calculating older stock that vested, topped $470 million in 2018, according to the latest proxy statement from Google's parent company, Alphabet.

The big picture: Pichai's compensation is one of the highest of 2018, surpassing the $302 million Netflix CEO Reed Hastings took home. Pichai has now made $878 million since 2015.
