How much GOOGL do they own vs GOOG?

Larry and Sergey own 51% of GOOGL. Owning GOOG doesn't give you any control over the behavior of the company.

Yeah, the tech stock games around ownership vs control are real, and it's unlikely that GOOG owners can assert direct control. Still, if the company fails to listen to GOOG owners, the price will drop, almost as a matter of course.
