A native of Russia, Sergey Brin was born in Moscow to Jewish parents, Michael Brin and Eugenia Brin. When he was six he and his family had to escape Russia to save themselves from Jewish persecutions. His father was a mathematician, which explains the extraordinary aptitude that Sergey exhibited while solving math problems. Brin’s father tutored him at home and honed his analytical skills and also infused in him an interest in computers.

After graduating from college in May 1993, Sergey entered Stanford, where he met Larry Page at an orientation program for new students. From there started a partnership that changed the face of World Wide Web. But at beginning both had a hard time gelling with each other, since they never seem to agree on a single topic. According to Brin, “ they are both obnoxious” constantly debating with each other. However they put aside this coldness for starting a search engine named BackRub, which exploited backlinks to estimate the popularity and importance of the site. They later incorporated Google Corp. in September, 1998, after getting a funding of US $ 100, 000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems.

Today Google is worth US $ 150 billion and is the biggest media corporation in the world. Sergey Brin himself has garnered a personal fortune of US $ 19.8 billion, and was ranked as the fifth most powerful man in the world by Forbes in 2009. He married Anne Wojcicki in the summer of 1997 on The Bahamas. Brin is a big supporter of alternative energy consumption and is trying to solve world’s energy and climate problems through the philanthropic arm Google.org. He co-owns a customized Boeing 767-200 and Dornier Alpha Jet along with Larry Page and is also a member of AmBAR, the group of Russian speaking business professionals in America.
