“Google’s top lawyer pulled in a hefty $51 million (£36.7 million) last year, according to recently released financial docs: Chief legal officer Kent Walker is said to have received more than $50.2 million (£36.1 million) in stock awards, on top of his $655,000 (£471,000) salary. PEP at Kirkland & Ellis, the world’s highest grossing law firm, hit $6.2 million (£4.5 million) this month — a fraction of what Walker reportedly took home.”
