2004 he led product management and innovation of google chrome and chrome os and was a driving force in realizing google drive under his leadership applications for gmail and google maps were developed his list of achievements at google goes on and on but his rise to ceo began with his appointment as ceo in 2015 this was at the point of completion of the formation of alphabet inc the new holding company for all that is google so alexers which ceo on this list do you find the most inspirational tell us about it in the comments now since you stuck with us until the end we of course have a bonus for you by now you're probably wondering where the heck is jeff bezos and elon musk well their absence from this list is on purpose because these two are in a league of their own when it comes to take home jeff bezos for example has a salary much lower than you might imagine the founder of amazon only declared an annual salary of eighty one thousand eight hundred and forty dollars of course bezos is by no means middle class the world's richest man takes home about twenty five hundred dollars per second or around one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a minute elon musk's salary is listed at 595.3 million dollars for his role as ceo but his bread is buttered on both sides because this definitely isn't his only income stream his net worth sits around 135 billion dollars but what else would you expect for someone who seems hell-bent on shaking up the industries of both transportation and the battery as we know it thanks for watching alexers we hope you enjoyed this video give us a thumbs up if you did and don't forget to subscribe for more great content every single day
