Pay package for Ruth Porat has been splashed up to $70 Million

Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), It has been announced by Google to splash the cost of Ruth Porat up to $70 million. Ruth will take over since May this year.
Pay package for Ruth Porat $70 Million
This new CFO of Google will have a base salary of about $650.000 a year, but also on top of this she will receive $25 million in restricted stock units grants, another $40 million grant in 2016 and a $5 million signature bonus. In comparison, regulatory fillings from Morgan Stanley show that she has earned about $30 million in her last three years with the Manhattan company.

Porat had occupied the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President at financial services giant Morgan Stanley since January 2010, after working her way throughout the ranks of the company since 1987. At one point in 2013, heavy rumors pointed towards President Barack Obama nominating her to be the next Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, but later reports stated she had asked the White House on her own to remove her from consideration for the position, as she wanted to continue to work for Morgan Stanley.

This move comes after the previous Google CFO, Patrick Pichette, announced his retirement from the company earlier this month in an open letter posted on Google Plus. Pichette invoked overall tiredness, satisfaction with his career’s achievements and desire to spend more time with his wife as the reasons for his departure. He also stated at the time that he will help the company in transitioning the next CFO into the role.

Porat joins Google at a rather tumultuous time for the Silicon Valley giant, after an accidentally leaked Federal Trade Committee antitrust report in 2013 stated that the company had used content from rival companies into its own services, and also threatened some of them with exclusion from their search engine. Google was at that point under investigation by the FTC for alleged anticompetitive business practices, which ultimately ended in the company’s favor.
