Salar Kamangar is the product manager who handled the press on the click fraud issue back in February. According to the WSJ, he's just one of many spending 7 figures in the Bay-Area enclave of Atherton. Omid Kordestani strikes it rich too - he gets his picture done in Wall St. Journal style.

Some Googlers are buying properties through trusts in an effort to remain anonymous, real-estate agents say. In February, a 12,400-square-foot Atherton estate sold for $10 million to a trust, according to the assessor's records. Behind the trust, says a person familiar with the matter, is Salar Kamangar, a 28-year-old Google product-management director. The property is now back on the market for $11.65 million.

Reading this article makes me a bit jealous. Not of the $10M homes, but the fact that more and more Googlers are getting their own "dot-picture" printed in the WSJ! Man, someday, I aspire to one of those little etched headshots...
