As a Google engineer, I think it's two things:

- Great for recruitment: You're the most talented $SKILL in the world? Come to the team that is pushing humanity forward in all the ways that matter.

- Larry and Sergei actually care about humanity, and being a billionaire is kind of a side-effect of what they would have done anyway.

Not sure if you know this, but Larry nor Sergei run Google right now.
