Google co-founder Sergey Brin donates $500,000 to group opposing ‘overpaid CEO’ tax

Google co-founder Sergey Brin donated $500,000 to a group that opposes a increasing tax rate on businesses with highly-paid executives in San Francisco.

The donation — a paltry sum for one of the world’s richest people with a net worth of $304.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — is being seen as Brin’s push deeper into California politics.
