Larry Page, CEO of Google, gave stock in his company valued at nearly $177.3-million to charity in February, according to Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed this month.
The gifts show Mr. Page is much more charitable than he let on in a TED conference conversation with interviewer Charlie Rose this week. During the interview, Mr. Page said he would prefer to give his money to entrepreneurs and businesses with new and creative ideas than to nonprofit organizations.
Although documentation for the recent gifts does not list any beneficiaries, and his spokesman has not responded to The Chronicle’s request for information, Mr. Page has previously donated to the Carl Victor Page Memorial Foundation, which he founded in 2006 and named after his father, a professor of computer science and artificial intelligence at Michigan State University.
