What is Larry Page’s net worth?
Forbes values Larry Page at $232.3 billion on 3 November 2026. The number is essentially the market value of his Alphabet shares, which he has rarely sold since the company went public in 2004.
Page holds Class B shares that carry more votes than ordinary shares, so his influence over Alphabet is larger than his economic stake suggests. That structure has been challenged by regulators in several countries and remains one of the most watched governance questions in technology.
Sources of wealth
One holding dominates to a degree that is unusual even among founders.
| Source | Details | Approximate share |
|---|---|---|
| Alphabet | About 6 percent of the company, mostly Class B shares with additional voting rights. | Nearly all |
| Private investments | Venture positions in aviation, biotechnology and space, held through personal entities. | Small |
| Cash and funds | Proceeds of limited share sales. | Small |
How the fortune was built
Page grew up in Michigan, the son of a computer science professor, and studied engineering at the University of Michigan before starting a doctorate at Stanford. There he met Sergey Brin, and together they built a search engine that ranked pages by the links pointing to them rather than by the words on the page.
Google was incorporated in 1998, raised venture money in 1999 and went public in 2004. Page was chief executive until 2001, returned to the role in 2011 to simplify a sprawling product line, and became chief executive of the newly created Alphabet in 2015. He stepped back in December 2019, handing the role to Sundar Pichai, and has kept a low public profile since.
His post-Google work has focused on long-horizon bets: flying vehicles through Kitty Hawk, research funding, and investments in companies working on space and health. Those positions are small compared with Alphabet but they explain why he is not simply a passive shareholder.
Holdings and assets
Page owns property in Palo Alto and elsewhere in California, and is known for buying homes near his neighbours to protect his privacy. There is no reliable public inventory of his real estate, so we count only assets with a recorded sale price.
Like Brin, he has committed money to philanthropic causes but has not signed the Giving Pledge. We do not deduct pledges or announced commitments from net worth.
How we estimate it
We use the share count in Alphabet’s latest proxy statement and the closing price on our valuation date. Where options or unvested awards exist, they are counted only if they have vested.
The methodology behind every profile is documented on our methodology page.
