2026-05-20 — Garry Tan: California Wealth Tax Would Wipe Out 50% of Founders' Alphabet Holdings
Garry Tan (YC CEO) breaks down the 2026 Billionaire Tax Act: Larry & Sergey each own ~3% of Alphabet (~$120B each), but because their shares carry 10x voting power (Class B supervoting shares), the tax treats them as owning 30%. Section 50303(c)(3)(C) presumes ownership at voting control percentage, not economic interest. A "5%" wealth tax would mean a $60B tax bill each — 50% of their actual holdings. The law contains a tell: "provisions of this Part shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purposes" — meaning capture as much tax as possible. Designed to drive tech innovation out of California.
