The Google (GOOG) co-founder apparently forgot to cash in on $1,184 from Stanford University, where he was a PhD student in computer science in the late '90s, according to six state listings in Brin's name courtesy of "Google Inc." Brin taught a data mining course at the university in the fall of 1998, according to a Stanford website.

Also being held by the state of California are $9.53 in unclaimed New York Times (NYT) stock dividends listed in Brin's name at "165 University Ave.," a building famous for being home to Google and PayPal in their early years.
