Who is Sergey Brin? Man who overtakes Amazon’s Jeff Bezos to become world’s fourth-richest, his net worth is Rs…
Google co-founder Sergey Brin surpassed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on the list of global billionaires after Alphabet shares rose. Brin’s net worth rose to $240 billion (Rs 21,68,65,32,000.00), placing Bezos at the fifth spot.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has dropped one place on the list of the world’s richest people after overtaking Google co-founder Sergey Brin, according to the latest Forbes Billionaires rankings. Brin’s net worth has risen to around US$240 billion (Rs 21,68,65,32,000.00), narrowly surpassing Bezos, whose wealth is around US$239.9 billion.
Alphabet Stock Rise Fuels Brin’s Rise
The realignment of the rankings comes as Alphabet’s share price continues its upward momentum. Brin earned approximately $2.4 billion in a single day, thanks to the strong performance of Alphabet shares. This rise was enough to move him ahead of Bezos and secure fourth place among the world’s richest individuals.
Alphabet shares closed higher on December 10, rising just over 1% to around USD 317. Over the past 30 days, the stock has gained nearly 10%; This reflects investors’ increased confidence in the company’s future.
Artificial Intelligence Breakthroughs Increase Investor Confidence
One of the key factors behind Alphabet’s stock rise is the success of Google’s Gemini 3 artificial intelligence model. The new system reportedly outperformed rival AI platforms in a variety of industry benchmarks, including math, coding and trivia-based tests.
Investors also welcomed the fact that Gemini was developed without over-reliance on Nvidia’s GPU chips; This has eased concerns about rising AI infrastructure costs and potential overvaluation in the industry.
US Department of Defense Agreement Adds Momentum
Alphabet received new momentum after the US Department of Defense selected Google’s Gemini platform for its productive artificial intelligence development program. The announcement strengthened market sentiment and reinforced Alphabet’s growing influence in advanced artificial intelligence technologies.
Jeff Bezos Slips Again as Amazon Shares Delay
While Alphabet rose, Amazon’s shares rose less than 0.5% on the same day. This relatively modest performance contributed to Jeff Bezos losing another place in the global wealth rankings.
Notably, this marks the second time Bezos has been surpassed by a Google founder in recent months. Last month, Larry Page overtook him, pushing Bezos out of the top three.
Current Top of the Global Rich List
With this latest change, Sergey Brin is now only behind Elon Musk, Larry Ellison and Larry Page. Musk remains by far the richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of approximately US$491 billion.
The latest rankings highlight how AI innovation and stock market performance continue to reshape the fortunes of the world’s top tech billionaires.
