The fortune of Google co-founder Sergey Brin

How rich is Sergey Brin?

Together with Larry Page, Sergey Brin, who originally comes from Moscow but is now a US citizen, made history. Because the former students of the elite Stanford University in the USA have in common Google founded and with it started a real revolution of the internet. The entrepreneur was President of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. between 2015 and 2019. In this role, too, his madness continued to grow. Sergey Brin has an esteemed Assets of 106.46 billion euros.

Incidentally, Alphabet Inc. is the parent company, to which other companies besides Google belong. Calico, DeepMind, Waymo, Wing and many more are companies where Sergey Brin makes a lot of money.

Even if the two children with ex-wife Anne Wojcicki had to cope with their parents’ divorce, the Brin offspring, who, however, have their mother’s surname, will not lack for anything in the future, at least financially. After all, as a multi-billionaire, her father can regularly be found in the top 15 of the ranking of the richest people in the world. Brin could even be seen on the big screen. In 2013 he had one Appearance in the film “Prakti.com”, starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. In fact, much of the film was even split at Google’s California headquarters. Meanwhile, Google has become an important part of general pop culture and life without Google could no longer be imagined.

The life of the multiple billionaire

Sergey Brin’s parentage has a lot to do with his success today. He inherited some of his talents as a computer scientist from his father, who himself worked as a mathematician. In addition, both parents of the Google co-founder were of Jewish descent. Due to the widespread anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union, this quickly became a problem for the family, so that the Brins applied for an exit visa when Sergey was just 5 years old. Although the approval of the application was accompanied by some harassment, it was approved the following year, so that the Departure to the United States of America in May 1979.

Just like Google co-founder Larry Page, Sergey Brin only started his doctorate at one of the world’s most famous universities, but did not complete it. The two men just got in the way of their careers. Because they quickly realized how promising the idea was for Google, so they wanted to act as quickly as possible. There was no more time for a doctorate. Good this way. Otherwise the two would probably not be in the group of the richest people in the world today. It was only then IPO that turned Brin and Page into multi-billionaires. By the way, Sergey Brin is also doing his part to improve the world.
