Sergey Brin Biography
He was born on August 21, 1973, to Yevgenia and Mikhail Brin. He was born in Moscow, Russian Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union. His parents were Russian Jews who attended Moscow State University.
His mother and his father were mathematics professors and researchers, respectively. His father worked at the University of Maryland and his mother worked at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
They fled the Soviet Union at six for the United States. That was in 1979. Two years had passed since his father announced his arrival from Warsaw, Poland. Mikhail had traveled there for a math conference.
He attended Paint Branch Montessori Elementary School. Adelphi, Maryland is the location of the school. Later, she enrolled at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland.
He continued his education at the University of Maryland after graduation. Hee attended from 1991 to 1993 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science.
Stanford University was the next academic fraternity of his. It is where he received her Ph.D. Brin worked as an intern at Wolfram Research, the company that created Mathematica.
Sergey Brin Career
Page and him created an algorithm or set of step-by-step instructions to solve a specific computer task.
His algorithm searched for all hypertext documents in cyberspace, which are the basis of web pages on the Internet.
A typical search engine like Hot Bot, which was popular at one time in the mid-1990s, worked by looking for a term that the user entered – “New York Yankees”, for example in all those documents.
If the phrase “New York Yankees” were typed into a website’s hypertext code several dozen or even hundreds of times, that document would appear first in search results. But it could turn out to be an internet store selling sports memorabilia.
Larry Page and him wanted to create a search tool that would find the most relevant web page first. If someone were to type “New York Yankees”, for example, the official Yankees site would be the first result returned.
His algorithm analyzed the “back links” in a hypertext document, or how many times other sites linked to it: the more links, the more relevant the page.
Google interprets connections between websites as votes. The most linked sites win on Google’s profit ballot and rise to the top of search results.”
“In the future, Google will be your interface to all the knowledge in the world, not just web pages.”
The search engine with Page and Brin’s unique algorithm was initially called “Backrub“, but later they settled on “PageRank”, named after Page.
It soon caught on with other Stanford users when Page and Brin let them try it out.
The two of them created a simple search page for users, because they didn’t have a website developer to create something very impressive.
They also began chaining together the computing power needed to handle searches by multiple users, using whatever part of the computer they could find.
As its search engine grew in popularity among Stanford users, it needed more and more servers to process queries. “At Stanford we would stand on the loading dock and try to hook up the computers as they came in,” Page recalled to McGarvey. “We’ll see who has 20 computers and ask if they can do without one.”
During this time Page and Brin were running the project from their dorms at Stanford. Page’s room served as the data center, while Brin’s was the business office.
But they were reluctant entrepreneurs, unwilling to drop their doctoral studies and join the dot-com craze of the day.
In mid-1998 they finally gave in. “Pretty soon, we were having 10,000 searches a day,” Page told Newsweek’s Steven Levy. “And we think maybe this is really real.” Initially they were proposed only to defray their expenses. “We spent about $15,000 on a terabyte [a million megabytes] of disks,” Brin explained to McGarvey. “We spread it across three credit cards. Once we did that, we wrote a business plan.”
Google’s corporate culture has produced occasional jokes since its founding. The company was known to have published false press releases around April 1, or April Fools’ Day.
In 2000, for example, it launched “MentalPlex,” which offered visitors to Google’s site the ability to “search smarter and faster” by peering into a circle with changing colors.
Page and Brin continued to raise more money from friends, family, and then from venture capital firms that financed new businesses.
By the end of 1999 they had established their headquarters in an office park in Mountain View, and had officially launched the site. In June 2000, Google reached an important milestone: it had indexed one billion Internet URLs, or Uniform Resource Locators.
A URL is the World Wide Web address of a site on the Internet. Hitting the one billion mark made Google the most comprehensive search engine on the Web.Hired industry professionals
In his early years in the business, Brin served as president while Page was chief executive officer.
The company continued to grow exponentially during 2001.
Google even became a verb for “Google” someone or something intended to search you through the engine, but was most commonly used in reference to checking the web presence of potential dates.
Page and Brin’s company were the subject of articles in major publications, but they continually turned down offers to take their company public – make it a publicly traded company on Wall Street. However, they hired Eric Schmidt (1955-) as CEO and Chairman of the Board in 2001.
Page and him went out of their way to keep Google’s corporate culture relaxed in other ways, which they felt was good for the company in the long run.
Its benefits were legendary. There was free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, an on-site masseuse, a ping-pong table, yoga classes, and even an on-staff doctor.
Employees could bring their dogs to work, and the company cafeteria was run by a professional chef who used to work for the rock band The Grateful Dead. He discussed his management philosophy with Cummings. “Since we started the company, we have grown twenty percent a month. Our employees can do whatever they want.”
At the beginning of 2004, Google was one of the most visited websites in the world. Its servers handled about 138,000 search queries per minute, or about two hundred million a day.
Analysts believed it was making roughly $1 billion in annual revenue, and the company eventually announced plans to become a publicly traded company with an initial public offering (IPO) of shares.
However, theirs would use a unique online auction process to sell their first shares to the public.
This meant that the big Wall Street firms that handled the underwriting of the IPO – who researched the company’s books and then put a monetary value on it – couldn’t give the first shares to their biggest clients as a bonus.
Google was estimated to be worth at least $15 billion, and possibly as much as $30 billion.
Page and him each own thirty-eight million shares of Google. They would become millionaires overnight when Google began trading on the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASDAQ) Automatic Quotation system, sometime in 2004.
Business journalists were calling it the most anticipated IPO of the post-dot-com era.
Many other Internet companies had quickly become publicly traded companies in the late 1990s, but began to go bankrupt as the economy slowed in the years that followed.
Just before launching its initial public offering, Google entered a legally required “quiet period,” in which they were not allowed to discuss their plans or strategies with the press.
He told Levy in Newsweek just before that period that he and Page were happy to continue playing around with their investigative paper idea. “I think we’re pretty far along compared to 10 years ago,” he said.
“At the same time, where can you go? Certainly, if you had all the information in the world directly wired into your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off. Between that and today, there’s plenty of room for cover”.
Sergey Brin Achievements And Awards
Brine and Larry Page were named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 in 2002. They were among the top global innovators under the age of 35. 
The following year, IE Business School awarded him an honorary MBA. In 2004, they received the Marconi Foundation Prize. Additionally, the duo was named a national finalist for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award and the Academy of Achievement’s Golden Plate award.

Sergey Brin ‘s net worth is expected to top $60 billion by July 2022. It had risen from $46 billion in October last year. The man’s main source of income is Google, where he is not only the founder but also the chairman of Alphabet Inc, a subsidiary of Google. In addition, he has made significant investments in various businesses.
Him and Larry went from debate rivals to partners when they created Google, the world’s largest search engine. It all started at Stanford University. He has also worked on other Google projects as a computer scientist. His investments are also substantial.
Sergey Brin Marriage
Him and Ann Wojcicki married in May 2007.
She is a biotech analyst and an entrepreneur. In December 2008 and 2011, they were blessed with a son and a daughter.
As of August 2013, they lived apart. Brin was having an affair with Google Glass’s chief marketing officer at the time.
As of June 2015, the divorce was finalized. However, they continue to run the Brin Wojcicki Foundation together.
