Sergey Brin gave away more than $1.1 billion worth of Alphabet Inc. stock this week, with most of the money going to a nonprofit the Google<\/a> co-founder created.<\/p>\n

The donation was disclosed Friday\u00a0in a regulatory filing<\/a>, which didn\u2019t specify who had received the more than 3.5 million shares. According to a spokesperson for Brin\u2019s family office, roughly $1 billion in stock is going to Catalyst4, which the billionaire started in 2021 with the dual purpose of supporting research into central nervous system diseases and climate-change solutions.<\/p>\n

Brin is also giving about $90 million to his family foundation, the spokesperson said, as well as $45 million to the Michael J. Fox<\/a> Foundation, which supports research into Parkinson\u2019s disease. In May, Brin had previously doled out Alphabet shares\u00a0worth $700 million<\/a>\u00a0to the same three charities.<\/p>\n

Brin, 52, is the world\u2019s fourth richest person, with a $255.5 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His net worth has soared this year thanks to a rally in Alphabet shares, which hit a high of $323 on Tuesday boosted by\u00a0company\u2019s artificial intelligence gains<\/a>. Brin owns a roughly 6% aggregate stake of the business and has seen his fortune gain $97.3 billion this year so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sergey Brin gave away more than $1.1 billion worth of Alphabet Inc. stock this week, with most of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":416447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,738,256,152979,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-416446","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-philanthropy","11":"tag-sergey-brin","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115642336729091206","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
