Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin:
born in August 21, 1973) is
a Soviet-born American computer scientist ,
internet entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
Together with Larry Page , he co-founded
Google . Today, Brin serves as President of
Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc .
According to Forbes List October 2016, he is
the 12th richest person in the world, with an
estimated net worth of US$39.2 billion.
Brin immigrated to the United States with his
family from the Soviet Union at the age of 6.
He earned his bachelor's degree at the
University of Maryland , following in his
father's and grandfather's footsteps by
studying mathematics, as well as computer
science. After graduation, he moved to
Stanford University to acquire a PhD in
computer science. There he met Page, with
whom he later became friends. They
crammed their dormitory room with
inexpensive computers and applied Brin's
data mining system to build a web search
engine . The program became popular at
Stanford and they suspended their PhD
studies to start up Google in a rented
garage.
The Economist referred to Brin as an
"Enlightenment Man", and as someone who
believes that "knowledge is always good, and
certainly always better than ignorance", a
philosophy that is summed up by Google's
mission statement, "Organize the world's
information and make it universally
accessible and useful," and unofficial
motto, "Don't be evil ".
