8. Larry Page
Larry Page, the other half of Google, comes in with a slightly higher net worth of $99.1 billion. He’s a few billion closer to the $100B club than Brin and originally served as the CEO of Google. He stepped down as CEO in 2001 when Eric Schmidt took over, but reclaimed the role from 2011-2015. In 2015, he became CEO of the new parent company Alphabet and held the position until December of 2019. He’s still a controlling shareholder and board member of Alphabet, but is reportedly focused on other projects such as his space exploration company Planetary Resources and “flying car” startups Kitty Hawk and Opener.
