Google cofounder Sergey Brin donated $100 mn but cannot cast a vote next month

Google cofounder Sergey Brin has donated $100 million to oppose a proposed billionaire wealth tax in California. Although the measure is slated for a vote next month, Brin is ineligible to participate in the election because he has relocated to Nevada.

The proposed tax, if approved, would apply exclusively to California residents starting in 2026. Brin’s contribution is intended to mitigate the potential financial impact of the legislation on his assets.
