Susan Wojcicki, who had been CEO of YouTube for nine years, has decided to leave her job. This means that Neal Mohan is now in charge. The executive, who was the Chief Product Officer at the video-sharing platform, was always seen as the second most important person after the CEO.
Mohan used to work at Google Search and DoubleClick before he joined YouTube. He has been able to make a lot of money over the years. Here is everything we know about how much money Neal Mohan has and how much he makes.
Neal Mohan Net Worth
It is thought that Neal Mohan will have a net worth of $350 million in February 2023. Most of this money comes from his long and successful career at Google Search. Mohan started his career at Andersen Consulting, which is now called Accenture, right after he got his degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1996.
The next year, he got a job as a senior analyst at a startup called Net Gravity, which sold enterprise software to digital marketing clients. At the new company, he made $60,000 a year. In November 1997, an Internet advertising company called DoubleClick bought the company.
Mohan moved to New York and got a job at DoubleClick, where he worked in services, sales operations, and business operations. He worked his way up through the company until he was Vice President of Business Operations. In 2003, he quit the company to go to Stanford and get an MBA.
Career with Google
Mohan went back to DoubleClick as head of products and strategy after getting his MBA. Google bought the company for $3.1 billion, and Mohan now works for the biggest search engine company in the world. He was named Senior Vice President of Display and Video Ads at Google Search in 2008 and stayed in that job until 2015.
Mohan made headlines around the world in 2013 when it was said that Google paid him $100 million to keep him from joining Twitter. He was offered the job of chief product officer at Twitter, but instead stayed at Google and was given $100 million in stock grants. At the time, Sundar Pichai, who is now the CEO of Alphabet, was offered a similar deal and paid $50 million to stay.
Mohan Joined YouTube in 2015
Mohan was made the Chief Product Officer at YouTube after being Senior Vice President of Display and Video Ads. There, he worked closely with the CEO, Susan Wojcicki, and was called her lieutenant.
He has also been an Independent Director of Stitch Fix Inc. since 2020. Stitch Fix is an online personal styling platform that uses both data science and human judgment to make each customer’s experience unique. Mohan is also on the Board of Directors at 23andMe, a company that tests your DNA and genes.
On February 17, 2023, it was announced that Susan Wojcicki would be leaving YouTube. After that, Mohan will be the new head and SVP. “He knows a lot about our product, our business, our communities of creators and users, and our employees. “Neal will be a great leader for YouTube,” said Susan as she gave Mohan the job.
