Larry Page overtakes Jeff Bezos as world's 3rd-richest person
Google co-founder Larry Page just moved ahead of Amazon's Jeff Bezos to become the world's third-richest person.
This big jump happened after Alphabet (Google's parent company) launched its new Gemini 3 AI model, which sent the company's stock—and Page's wealth—soaring.
It's a clear sign of how AI is shaking up who holds the most wealth globally.
How much did Page and Brin gain?
Thanks to a 3.2% stake in Alphabet, Page saw his net worth shoot up by $7.6 billion after Gemini 3 launched, landing him at $238.5 billion—comfortably ahead of Bezos at $230.4 billion.
Sergey Brin, Google's other co-founder, also got a $7 billion boost and is now the fifth-richest person worldwide.
Bottom line: AI isn't just changing tech—it's rewriting the leaderboard for the world's richest people.
