Interesting read about how much their employees are spending on new houses. Anyone want to go work for Google?

Nah online porn is more fun, only nerds work at Google (nerds = ugly mofos).

we are all nerds.

Someone is in denial

"More than half a dozen Google employees have bought Atherton houses for between $3.5 million and $17.8 million since September"

I'll bet those people don't sweep any floors or clean windows. I've heard of several GE employees buying expensive properties too...

I'm a sexy nerd, okay, will give you that

uh huh

:pimp

It's what happens when you take stockoptions instead of bonuses and then the company you work for IPOs and gets billions... eg: Microsoft

Matt

They definitely deserved it. They helped build a powerhouse! Nice to see news of efforts paying off!

Why cant a porn company do that?

word ;)

I wonder what there options price was and how much of a capital gain they are going to get hit with? Doesn't really matter as either way that is one hell of an employee bonus!

ipo is the keything, being on the inside is a damn good thing

sounds like fun

Congrats! It proves it can be done. There is hope for we the plebians.

$17.9m on a house, that google employee must be loaded

More than half a dozen Google employees have bought Atherton houses for between $3.5 million and $17.8 million since September, say local brokers, and another dozen Googlers are still looking to buy in the town. "There's been an obvious Google effect," says Tom Dallas, a local broker who specializes in homes in Atherton and neighboring towns. "I estimate 25% to 35% of recent upper-end home sales, meaning sales over $7 million, are from Google people."

jesus christ

:1orglaugh Funny how people will spend time looking at how much people are spending and/or making and apparently not worry about what they, themselves, are doing. Stop fantasizing and make it happen... pussy fags

Wall Street will look to adult entertainment before long. As the industry becomes more professional on the whole, real investors are seeing that this has the makings of an industry that could be host to major roll-ups, acquisitions and mergers. It is a profitable business that sells luxury and pleasure materials to the average joe.

All good... now get back to work

There is so much money in that company

damn,its good to be w/google but i'm sure its not as rewarding as online porn..
