Larry Page has an estimated net worth of $279 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Larry Page profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $50.8 billion in 2019.
Larry Page is an American businessman and computer scientist best known for cofounding Google with Sergey Brin in 1998. They met as Stanford Ph.D. students and built the search technology that became Google’s core product. Page also helped create the PageRank algorithm, which powers the search engine. He later led Google as CEO, then became CEO of Alphabet when Google moved into a new parent company structure in 2015.
Most of Page’s wealth comes from Google and Alphabet. He stayed in top leadership roles for years, serving as Google’s CEO until 2001, then again from 2011 to 2015, before running Alphabet. In 2019, he stepped down as Alphabet CEO but remained a board member and a controlling shareholder. Forbes put his net worth at $279 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker in October 2026, placing him among the richest people tracked by the outlet.
How Larry Page built his fortune
Page’s fortune is tied to Google, the company he cofounded with Sergey Brin in 1998. They developed PageRank while they were Stanford Ph.D. students, turning research on web links into a search engine. That work gave Google an edge and became the base of the business. Page’s long run in leadership also mattered, since he helped guide the company through its early years and later through a major corporate reset under Alphabet.
He was Google’s CEO until 2001, returned to the role from 2011 to 2015, and then became CEO of Alphabet in 2015. That placed him at the top of Google’s parent company during an important stretch. In 2019, Page stepped down from the CEO job and day-to-day work, but he kept a key link to the business as a board member and controlling shareholder. That continuing stake is central to how his wealth is built.
What Forbes says about his net worth
Forbes has tracked a huge rise in Page’s wealth over time. On the Forbes World’s Billionaires List, it estimated him at $50.8 billion in 2019. By 2025, that estimate had climbed to $144 billion. The business connection stayed the same: Google, within the technology industry. Even after he left the CEO role in 2019, his position as a controlling shareholder meant his fortune still moved with the company’s value.
The latest number in the facts is even higher. Forbes put Page at $257 billion on its 2026 World’s Billionaires List, and at $279 billion on its real-time tracker in October 2026. That gap shows how the estimate can move over the course of a year. Forbes still ties his wealth to Google, while Page himself has stayed mostly out of public view since Sundar Pichai became Google’s CEO.
