Google co-founders may be leaving California | TechCrunch
Read Original Source
Posted: Sergey Brin and Larry Page appear to be reducing their presence in the state where they co-founded Google. The New York Times reports that in December, 15 limited liability companies overseeing Brin’s investments and interests were terminated or converted into Nevada entities. Those include LLCs that manage one of his superyachts and his interest in a private terminal at the San Jose International Airport.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Sergey Brin and Larry Page appear to be shifting parts of their wealth and business ties out of California as a possible billion-dollar state tax measure moves closer to a vote.
Key Points:
- Brin’s investment and interest-holding LLCs were terminated or converted into Nevada entities in December.
- Some of those entities were tied to a superyacht and a private airport terminal in San Jose.
- Page has also moved many LLCs out of state, and a trust linked to him bought a Miami mansion this week.
- Both men still own homes in California, but the moves may help them avoid a proposed 5% tax on billionaires if it passes.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Brin and Page moving wealth out of California could weaken future tax revenue, which may limit money for public services if more rich residents follow.
Positive Impact
A billionaires’ tax could raise funds for schools, transit, and other public needs if voters approve it.
