As someone said here, best charity is anonymous. Meanwhile, Brin is in the news for scooping up properties and renting them out "to the needy". I remember the press Page and Brin were getting 5 or 6 years ago for helping out a filmmaker... to the tune of 200 or 250k. Many people I know do more, and more often, without any kind of public praise.

This kind of publicity should really cost more. And if you truly care about helping people, make an anonymous donation, instead of milking it for all its worth.
