Google co-founder Sergey Brin has now spent $100 million to fight the billionaire tax

TechCrunch | neutral | gemini-flash-lite-latest | Published: 17:20 Aug 10, 2026 (Eastern)

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has donated an additional $20 million to Build a Better California, bringing his total spending to over $100 million to oppose Proposition 40, California's proposed one-time 5% billionaire tax on roughly 200 state residents. The tax aims to fund healthcare programs amid anticipated federal Medicaid funding cuts. Other tech figures, including Mark Zuckerberg, Travis Kalanick, Peter Thiel, and Larry Page, have reportedly left the state, while Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed concern over economic impacts and advocated instead for a national billionaires' tax. Californians will vote on Prop 40 in November, with Brin-backed groups proposing counter-measures to block new taxes. Conversely, Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang stated he is fine with paying the tax.
