Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan's attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin's $95 billion fortune. The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration. Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.
Shanahan, a millennial patent attorney and California mega donor
Hmm...
Kennedy chose the 38-year-old tech attorney, he said, for her experience in emerging technologies like AI and has spoken positively about her track record on the environment and inquisitive mind. She boasts a compelling personal story, having grown up on welfare, with a hard-scrabble upbringing that runs counter to his elite family.

Millennials are not that stupid. I don't think they care if someone "like them" is elected, unless that person has good ideas.

Fucking Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell were two of the most qualified black Republicans and they couldn't move the needle for them.
He was never expected to win or even be a contender. All he is a stooge for republicans in case it's a close race between Biden and Trump and his major financial backers are betting that he will pull enough votes away from Biden to give Trump a victory in swing states.
