Sergey Brin Facts

  1. When he was 6 years old, his family emigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union. His father was alarmed by the rising anti-Semitism and oppression by the state.
  2. Just a couple of weeks before his 17th birthday, he went to the Soviet Union on two weeks exchange program with his father and other high school students. The trip brought his childhood fear of oppression back to his mind and he took his father aside to thank him for his decision to take their family out of there.
  3. In 1993, he worked as an intern at Wolfram Research, which is best known for being the developer of Mathematica, a modern technical computing system.
  4. He met Google co-founder Larry Page during the orientation program for the new students at Stanford University.

  7. Sergey had initially invested money in Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors, which works to develop a range of electric battery vehicles. In July 2022, there were wrong claims of Sergey selling his personal investments in Elon Musk’s companies, which was not the case.
  8. In June 2008, he made an investment of $4.5 million in the space tourism company, Space Adventures. His investment was also seen as his deposit for reservation in one of their future space programs.
  9. With Page, he is the co-owner of a customized Boeing 767-200 and a Dornier Alpha Jet.
  10. He is heavily involved in Google’s Project Glass program, which aims to develop an augmented reality head-mounted display (HMD).
  11. He has taken a firm stand against China’s bid to censor Google and their order to make changes to the search engine to filter out content that is deemed objectionable by the communist government of the Asian giant.

  14. In April 2004, the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Google took place and the company managed to raise more than $23bn.
  15. After his mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he decided to make a major donation to the University of Maryland School of Medicine. His mother has also been treated there.
  16. Google was originally named BackRub and was started in 1996. However, they decided that it was taking too much of bandwidth and decided to refine it.
  17. Brin and Page took inspiration from the word ‘Googol’, which is a mathematical term that is represented by the numeral one followed by 100 zeros, to rename their search engine.
  18. The first-ever Google doodle was created in August 1998 and was supposed to be out of office message to indicate that Brin and Page were going to Burning Man Festival. You can check it out here.
