Google CEO Sundar Pichai or Apple's Tim Cook; Which CEO receives the highest salary? The answer will shock you, it's...
When it comes to the highest paying CEO salaries, Alphabet Inc. CEO Sundar Pichai is certainly one of the most significant tech leaders in the world. According to Alphabet's 2023 Proxy Statement filed with the U.S. SEC, Sundar Pichai earned a base salary of $2 million in 2022, while his total compensation, including stock options and bonuses, amounted to approximately $226 million.
Based on the Apple Inc. 2023 Proxy Statement, Apple CEO Tim Cook received a impressive salary package too. In 2022, Tim Cook received a base salary of $3 million and total compensation (including stock awards and bonuses) of approximately $99.4 million.
In the current scenario, there isn't much of a difference between the two. According to a January 2025 report by ABP News, both Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai have an annual salary in the range of $70 to $75 million.
However, in 2022, Sundar Pichai's earnings were significantly higher than Tim Cook's, mainly due to his stock package, which placed him among the highest-paid CEOs in the world.

xAI cofounder Igor Babuschkin departs to launch AI safety investment firm
Igor Babuschkin , a cofounder of Elon Musk 's artificial intelligence startup xAI , said on Wednesday that he has left the company and plans to launch an investment firm focused on AI safety research. Musk launched xAI in 2023 to challenge Big Tech's AI push, accusing industry leaders of excessive censorship and lax safety standards. "Today was my last day at xAI," Babuschkin said in a post on X, adding that his new venture, Babuschkin Ventures, will back AI safety research and startups developing the technology. Babuschkin, who previously worked at Google 's DeepMind and OpenAI, described xAI's early scramble to build infrastructure and models, saying he created "many of the foundational tools" for launching and managing training jobs before later overseeing engineering across infrastructure, product and applied AI projects. His departure follows that of xAI's legal head, Robert Keele, earlier this month, and comes amid intensifying competition among AI players such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, which are pouring resources into training and deploying advanced systems. Last month, Musk-owned X's CEO Linda Yaccarino also resigned, just months after the platform was folded into xAI. Musk is separately contending with executive departures at Tesla.

iPhone 17 Pro price in India could start at Rs….
With the iPhone 17 series, Apple is expected to make big changes with storage variants and pricing. As of now, price hikes for all iPhone 17 models are uncertain; iPhone 17 Pro, on the other hand, could receive a price hike along with a significant increase in base storage. In the latest leak by a Chinese tipster, the iPhone 17 Pro is tipped to have a minimum storage of 256GB, instead of 128GB. With an increase in storage capacity, Apple is also expected to announce $50 price hike in comparison to last year's iPhone 16 Pro model. Therefore, if you are planning to buy the iPhone 17 Pro this year, then expect a change in prices as well as storage options. iPhone 17 Pro price in India could fall above Rs. 1,20,000 for the 256GB variant.(X/@asherdipps) iPhone 17 Pro price A Chinese tipster who goes by the name Instant Digital shared a post on Weibo highlighting the increase in iPhone 17 Pro storage variant and price. Reportedly, the compact pro model will be announced in a 256GB base variant, with a $50 price hike. Therefore, the iPhone 17 Pro could be priced at $1,049 ( around Rs. 91,735). In comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro was launched at $999 for the 128GB variant and Rs. 1,19,900 in India. Whereas, the 256GB costs $1,199 and Rs. 1,29,900. Therefore, we can expect the iPhone 17 Pro price in India could be around Rs. 1,25,000 for 256GB. If these rumours turn out to be true, then iPhone 17 Pro buyers will be getting quite a great deal despite getting an increased storage option. Now, we will have to wait until launch to confirm what Apple has in store for this year's iPhone 17 series. iPhone 17 launch date Several rumours have surfaced about the upcoming Apple event date, and it is speculated to take place on September 9, 2025. An invite has also been leaked on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a similar launch date. However, we are skeptic about the leaked invite, since Apple invites are sent two weeks before the event date, and we do not expect it to be shared until August 25. Therefore, we may have to wait for an official announcement to confirm when Apple will debut the iPhone 17 series, the new Apple Watch series 11, and other expected products.
