Sergey Brin's $100 Million Effort Against California's Billionaire Tax
Sergey Brin has allocated $100 million to oppose California's proposed billionaire tax, which would impose a 5% net worth levy on 200 state residents to fund healthcare programs. The tax faces opposition from tech elites and Governor Newsom, who advocates for a national wealth tax instead.
California's Prop 40 would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of the state's billionaires.
