For example, if Google gave an employee 10,000 options in 2003 – a figure some experts say is on the low side – the typical pre-IPO Googler’s shares are worth an estimated $4.7 million, before taxes, based on last week’s closing stock price of $471.51 and recent grant-price data from Google.
In that case, sticking it out until the fourth anniversary would be worth about $98,000 a month, $3,200 a day or $400 an hour. That’s on top of regular salary and any other options, restricted stock or bonuses.
