Biography

Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin was born on August 21, 1973, in Moscow, Russia.
In 1979, Brin's family immigrated to the United States to escape anti-Semitic persecution in the Soviet Union.
In 1996, Brin, along with Larry Page, co-founded Google while pursuing their Ph.D. studies at Stanford University, revolutionizing internet search with their innovative PageRank algorithm.
Google was officially incorporated in 1998, and Brin served as the President of Technology during the company's early years.
Brin played a crucial role in developing Google's infrastructure and search algorithms, contributing to the company's rapid growth and success.
In 2004, Google went public with a unique Dutch auction process, and Brin became one of the youngest billionaires in the tech industry.
Brin was actively involved in the development of various Google products, including Google Glass, a wearable augmented reality device, showcasing his interest in cutting-edge technologies.
In 2015, Google underwent a corporate restructuring, creating Alphabet Inc. as the parent company, with Brin serving as the President of Alphabet until stepping down in 2019.
Known for his philanthropy, Brin has supported various charitable causes, including Parkinson's disease research, and he co-founded the Brin Wojcicki Foundation with his ex-wife Anne Wojcicki.

How long would it take you to become as rich as Sergey Brin?

If you started with $10,000 and invested an additional $500 each month at a 44.01% CAGR, it would take you 5 years to reach Sergey Brin's net worth of $129B.

Is this realistic? It depends how closely the VIX-TA-Macro Advanced model performs to its history in the future. Since Grizzly Bulls launched on January 1, 2022, it's returned 40.45% compared to 10.08% for the S&P 500 benchmark.

Sergey Brin is very wealthy, but what's stopping you from reaching that same level of success? As summarized in our five fundamental rules to wealth building, becoming wealthy in a modern capitalist economy is not complicated. There's actually only three variables:

  1. Your starting capital
  2. Your earnings after expenses
  3. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of your savings

Most people start with zero or very little, so if you weren't born into wealth, don't fret! The majority of the fortunate folks listed in our Grizzly Bulls’ Billionaires Index came from middle class or lower backgrounds. The most distinguishing characteristic of the group is their ability to consistently earn a high CAGR on their savings.

Every billionaire has a unique strategy to achieve high CAGR. For Sergey Brin, Google is the primary source. Whether you choose to invest your savings in your own businesses or the businesses of others is not as important. The salient piece of the puzzle is ensuring that your hard-earned savings are generating sufficient CAGR to reach your long term goals.

Most people simply invest their money in index funds and call it a day. There's nothing wrong with this approach, but it guarantees relative mediocrity. To achieve greatness, you need to invest your money to earn higher than average returns. In the long run, better investors will always finish ahead of better earners.
