Sergey Mikhailovich Brin, an American business magnate computer scientist, and internet entrepreneur, who co-founded Google with Larry Page. Brin is listed as the 12th richest person in the world, with a NetWorth listed at 78 billion. Brin immigrated to the United States with his family from the Soviet Union at the age of six. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Maryland, College Park following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps by studying mathematics, as well as computer science. After graduation, he enrolled in Standford University to acquire a PhD in computer science. The program became popular at Stanford, and they suspended their PhD studies to start up Google in Susan Wojcicki’s garage. During an orientation for new students at Stanford, he met Larry Page and the two men seemed to disagree on most subjects, but after spending time together they “became intellectual soul-mates and close friends. After years of failure and determination to get their work done, as most entrepreneurs go through, they were able to create Google, with Sergey becoming the co-founder. He has smartly invested millions of dollars into other products and companies, increasing his NetWorth substantially.
This was such a cool story! I have never heard of the story behind Google, it is truly fascinating. It is awesome to hear that they worked in Susan’s garage for years failing multiple times. This is so inspiring because look what they built through that failure! Well written blog.
