Which country has the ownership of google ?

An amended filing received by the SEC on Friday, May 21, 2004 contained information about the percentages of Google owned by co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. This amendment also contained information about the number of banks that Google selected for underwriting their IPO.

Initially, Google had selected 2 investment banks to handle the IPO. This number has increased to 31, with the addition of 29 additional banks, the filing revealed. Besides the banking information, the filing contained information about the amount of the company each founder owns.

Sergey Brin owns 15.6 percent of Google's outstanding shares, and Larry Page controls 15.7 percent. Not only do the two control 30+ percent of Google, the shares they do control are labeled as being Class B level stock, which has more voting power than Class A level stocks. Owners of Class B stocks have 10 votes per share they control, whereas Class A holders have 1 voter per stock.

Industry experts expect Google initial market value to be in the area of $20-30 billion. If these expectations are met, Brin and Page will be worth an estimated $3 to 4.7 billion.

The highest, non-Google employed ownership falls to Sequoia Capital and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, two Silicon Valley venture firms. According to RedNova.com, each invested a total of $25 million into Google 5 years ago. This investment gives each group 9.7 percent control of Google's shares. After the IPO, this investment could be worth anywhere from $2 to 3 billion.

some more info.........Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. The Google headquarters, the Googleplex, is located in Mountain View, California. As of 30 June 2008 the company has 19,604 full-time employees.[3]
Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on 4 September 1998. The initial public offering took place on 19 August 2004, raising US$1.67 billion, making it worth US$23 billion. Google has continued its growth through a series of new product developments, acquisitions, and partnerships. Environmentalism, philanthropy, and positive employee relations have been important tenets during the growth of Google, the latter resulting in being identified multiple times as Fortune Magazine's #1 Best Place to Work.[4] The unofficial company slogan is "Don't be evil", although criticism of Google includes concerns regarding the privacy of personal information, copyright, censorship, and discontinuation of services.
