Porat, formerly the CFO of Morgan Stanley(MS), received a $70 million-plus cash and stock deal from Google(GOOGL) for making the transition from Wall Street to Silicon Valley. She hasn't started at Google yet, so it's not clear exactly what her total pay will be this year.
But she deserves to be on this list. Porat will earn a $650,000 salary, receive a $5 million cash bonus and a special $25 million stock grant that she will receive incrementally over the next two years.
