/ 07:44 PM April 21, 2012

SAN FRANCISCO—Shifting from Google’s CEO to executive chairman proved to be lucrative career move for Eric Schmidt.

Google Inc. awarded Schmidt a compensation package valued at $101 million last year. The amount disclosed in a regulatory filing is 322 times higher than the $313,219 package that Schmidt received in 2010 during his final full year as the Internet search leader’s CEO.

Schmidt ended a decade-long stint as Google’s CEO last April and turned over the job to Google co-founder Larry Page.
