Wikipedia is a registered US-charity so cannot be "bought" as such from a company like Google and even if they were able there is no reason why wikipedia would sell, the owners are pretty happy the way it is with it being no-advertising and non-profit

What is better Google or Wikipedia?

The answer is neither. Google is a search engine. It is used to provide links that match your query. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. It is used to provide detailed answers to a specific query. So, if i wanted to find out where to buy fruit juice in Burbank, I would type into Google "where can i buy fruit juice in Burbank". If i wanted to find out what fruit juice IS, i would type into Wikipedia "fruit juice"
