Larry Page becomes world's 2nd-richest person after $8.7 billion gain

Business Nov 25, 2025

Google co-founder Larry Page just jumped to the world's second-richest spot, now worth $255 billion.
His wealth shot up by $8.7 billion in a single day—November 24—after Alphabet's stock soared thanks to the buzz around Google's new Gemini 3 AI model.

Why is this a big deal?

Page's fortune has grown fivefold since 2020, mostly from his slice of Alphabet, which climbed 67% in the past year as investors got excited about AI.
This isn't just about one guy getting richer—it shows how AI is shaking up tech and money.

Tech billionaire rankings are shifting

Sergey Brin, Page's fellow Google founder, is now fourth richest worldwide at $236.4 billion, edging past Jeff Bezos.
Meanwhile, Oracle's Larry Ellison slipped down as his company's shares fell—proof that fortunes can change fast when tech trends shift.
