The economist referred Brin as an Enlightenment Man. He met Larry Page, another co-founder of Google, at the time of studying in Stanford University in 1995, as both were in the school's computer science graduate program. Brin and Page created a search engine that listed results according to the popularity of the pages, after concluding that the most popular result would often be the most useful. They called the search engine 'Google'. The origin of Google is a story about the origin of an idea, and that idea was Page’s vision that a World Wide Web search engine could rank links based on how often they were being linked by other pages. With Brin’s help, the idea turned into PageRank, the foundational algorithm of Google Search. The search product went live on Stanford’s network in 1996.

Sergey Brin has a Google Jet which is the property of both founders of Google and he also has a fighter jet which is named as Dornier Alpha fighter jet. This aircraft is designed by Germany’s Dornier and France’s Dassault.

Personal information

Sergey is The richest immigrant in America. His father was a Soviet mathematician economist and mother was a meteorology researcher who spent years at NASA. Brin and his family emigrated to the United States at his age of 6 to escape Jewish persecution in 1979. He get married to Anne Wojcicki, Biotech analyst and entrepreneur in May of 2007 in the Bahamas but get separated in 2015. This couple has 2 children named Chloe Wojin and Benji Wojin. Brin is 5 feet and 10 ichs high.

He has a cozy mansion in Palo Alto, California. The mansion is spread on an area of 6000 square feet. The mansion is luxurious and have a completely friendly environment. He has got his apartment finally in Greenwich street of 8.5 million dollars. The penthouse has 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms. Each room has its private terrace, an attached bathroom and a wet bar. He is very careful about his health and he truly believes that a healthy regimen keeps you away from many diseases. So practicing yoga and meditation are his hobby and a part of his daily routine.

He has a great passion for sports cars and has a Tesla Roadstar Sports Car. It is very light weighted and high speed car. The car has a lavish interior. He has a Toyota Prius too.

Sergey and Larry were both intrigued by the idea of enhancing the ability to extract meaning from the mass of data accumulating on the Internet. The two were both intrigued by the idea of enhancing the ability to extract meaning from the mass of data accumulating on the Internet. They began working from Page’s dormitory room to devise a new type of search technology that leveraged Web users' own ranking abilities by tracking each site's 'backing links'—that is, the number of other pages linked to them.

In the middle of 1998 Brin and Page began receiving outside financing, and they ultimately raised about $1 million from investors and from family and friends. They called their updated search engine Google—a name derived from a misspelling of the originally planned name, googol (a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros)—and created the corporation 'Google Inc'. Brin became the company’s president of technology, and by mid-1999, when Google received $25 million of venture capital funding, the search engine was processing 500,000 queries per day. Technology executive Eric Schmidt replaced Page as chief executive officer of Google in 2001. However, Google was in effect led by the trio of Brin, Page, and Schmidt. By 2004 users were accessing the Web site 200 million times a day (roughly 138,000 queries per minute). On August 19, 2004, Google Inc. issued its initial public offering (IPO), which netted more than $3.8 billion dollars for Brin.

In 2006 Google acquired YouTube, the Web’s most popular site for user-submitted streaming videos, for $1.65 billion in stock. That same year Google was criticized for agreeing to comply with the Chinese government’s censorship requirements—blocking Web sites extolling democracy, for example, or those covering the 1989 demonstrations in Tiananmen Square. Brin defended the decision, saying that Google’s ability to supply some, albeit restricted, information was better than supplying none. In April 2011 Brin relinquished his duties as president of technology to become director of special projects. Google was reorganized in August 2015 to become a subsidiary of 'Alphabet Inc.', a newly created holding company with Brin as its president. In December 2019 he left the post, though he continued to serve on Alphabet’s board of directors.

But if you inspected the source code on the webpage, you’d find Brin’s hidden "objective" laid out bare: "A large office, good pay, and very little work. Frequent expense-account trips to exotic lands would be a plus." Lucky for Brin, he would very much get to enjoy that lifestyle in his later years at Google after he moved on from being co-president with Page to heading up the company’s experimental divisions. Although Google is now one of the most powerful forces in online advertising on the planet, Page and Brin weren’t too keen on turning their prototype search engine into an ad-selling machine, at first.

Sergey's research interests include search engines, information extraction from unstructured sources, and data mining of large text collections and scientific data. He has published more than a dozen academic papers, including Extracting Patterns and Relations from the World Wide Web; Dynamic Data Mining: A New Architecture for Data with High Dimensionality, which he published with Larry Page; Scalable Techniques for Mining Casual Structures; Dynamic Itemset Counting and Implication Rules for Market Basket Data; and Beyond Market Baskets: Generalizing Association Rules to Correlations.

Brin and Larry also founded a Google Organization for charitable purposes. This organization works to solve the issues of poverty, disease, and the environment all over the world.

Education

Brin went to the 'University of Maryland' at College Park and received his bachelor of science degree with honors in mathematics and computer science. He completed doctorates in computer science from Stanford University and received a master's degree in 1995, but he went on leave from Stanford’s doctorate program to continue working on the search engine. Sergey is a recipient of a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship as well as an honorary MBA from Instituto de Empresa.
