Alphabet cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have seen their fortunes soar this year, reclaiming their place among the world’s wealthiest tech leaders. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Page and Brin have added $58.5 billion and $53.8 billion, respectively, to their net worths as of Friday’s close.
Surpassing Tech Rivals in Wealth Gains
Their massive wealth jump has outpaced those of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who gained $52.5 billion, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who added $47.4 billion. The only person ahead of them in terms of growth this year is Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison, whose fortune has surged by $151 billion.
With their recent gains, Page is now worth $227 billion, while Brin follows closely with $212 billion, placing them fifth and sixth on Bloomberg’s global rich list. The two are only slightly behind Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who ranks fourth with a $247 billion fortune.
Combined Wealth Nears Elon Musk’s
Together, Page and Brin now command a combined net worth of $439 billion, a figure that rivals the $451 billion fortune of the world’s richest person, Elon Musk. Their joint wealth also exceeds the market capitalization of major U.S. corporations, including Costco ($413 billion) and Bank of America ($385 billion).
Their rebound has been remarkable — in July 2025, both billionaires had gained less than $5 billion each since the start of the year. But Alphabet’s stock has since surged 35% in just three months, pushing their wealth to new highs.
AI Boom and Legal Wins Fuel Alphabet’s Rally
The surge follows a series of major developments for Alphabet. In September, a federal judge ruled in an antitrust case that Google would not have to divest its Chrome browser or Android operating system, a verdict that boosted investor confidence. More recently, Alphabet’s stock jumped again after the company announced a significant partnership with Anthropic, easing concerns that it might lag behind rivals in the artificial intelligence race.
Page and Brin each own about 6% of Alphabet, a company valued at over $3.1 trillion, encompassing Google, YouTube, Waymo, and DeepMind. As AI partnerships, multibillion-dollar contracts, and rapid growth forecasts continue to drive tech valuations upward, the “Google Guys” appear to be among the biggest winners of this new wave.
