Very unlikely, Google wouldn't be paying individuals, although they do
pay Mozilla to keep Google as the default search engine:

OTOH, Ubuntu is paid by Yahoo, to switch the search engine in Firefox.
 Yahoo had also signed a deal with Bing (from Microsoft) so that move
didn't make too many fanboys happy.

HTH.
