Wealthfront's advice is now an employee benefit for Google employees' non-401(k) savings
Employees at the search giant with less than $100,000 get their balances managed for free -- as do employees of the San Francisco 49ers and Palantir
Adam Wildavsky
Your math is off by an order of magnitude. Given the figures you cite Google’s worldwide payroll is around $5 billion, not $50 billion. It could be somewhat lower — not all employees are software engineers or product managers.

Do their employees still get free food in addition to the outrageous benefits? Google paid a phantom dividend to its shareholders which was really a cheesy stock split that has seen the price spiral downwards. Maybe Google should do such a blasé thing as pay its shareholders a dividend. Or a special massive, one time dividend while it hoards shareholder money. Google is approaching the irresponsibility to shareholders of Yahoo which in the last twenty years has paid its CEO’s over a billion dollars and not a penney to common shareholders. Sure takes those greedy, self-rewarding bastards a long time to part with shareholder money, as if there is ever a perfect, perfect time to pay out. Those executives get theirs first. Count on that.

Wealthfront cedes to four years of investors clamoring for crypto by taking on expensive third-party vendor that Betterment rules out
The Redwood City, Calif., robo-advisor turned a hard 'no' into a soft 'yes' by dealing with Grayscale and its 200 basis-point-plus fees, which its robo rival in NYC -- also without a crypto path -- finds ludicrous.
