Satya Nadella made Microsoft relevant again — and remains underpaid compared to his peers, says a Reuters report published by CNBC.

Microsoft has added almost $500 billion to its market value since Satya Nadella became CEO in 2014. But Nadella has not yet joined the ranks of the world's most valuable individuals. Meanwhile, Microsoft co-founder and original CEO Bill Gates is the second-richest person on the planet, with a net worth of $95.7 billion, and the company's second CEO, Steve Ballmer, is worth approximately $39.2 billion, according to data from Bloomberg.

The report continues:

• Satya Nadella became Microsoft's CEO on Feb. 4, 2014.

• Since then the company's stock has risen almost 182 percent.

• Nadella's compensation is lower than the CEOs of some companies with lesser stock growth.
