Biography
Sergey Brin is an American entrepreneur, a specialist in computing equipment, information technology and economics. Together with Larry Page, became the founder of the Google search engine.
Sergey was born in Moscow in the family of graduates of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow State University Mikhail Brin and Evgenia Krasnokutskaya, the Jews by nationality. Sergey's family belonged to hereditary scientists. His grandfather on his father's line was also engaged in mathematics, and the grandmother studied philology.
When the boy turned five years old, the family of resettlement program immigrates to the United States. Father Brin becomes an honorary professor of the University of Maryland, and Mom collaborates with serious NASA and Chias companies.
Young Seryozha, like parents, turned out to be promising mathematician. In primary classes, the boy studied under the Montessori program. Sergey walked to school for gifted children and even at such a level was allocated by the abilities. On a computer presented by the Father, the boy created the first programs, printed the homework performed than the teachers surprised. The grandmother of the future genius was crushed that Sergey's head had some computers.
In the senior classes, Brin visited the Soviet Union under the exchange program of experience. After the young man saw his life at the former Motherland, Sergey thanked his father that he took him from Russia.
Later, the young man will again express an anti-Russian position, calling the development of this country "Nigeria in the snow", and the government is the "gang of bandits". Seeing the resonance of such words, Sergei Brin abandoned these phrases and began to assure that it meant otherwise, and these sayings twisted journalists.
Business and technology
After school, the young man enters the University of Maryland and receives a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computing Systems. Magistracy Brin passed in the prestigious University of Stanford in California. There, Sergey became seriously interested in Internet technologies and began to develop a search engine of the new system.
At the University, Sergey Brin got acquainted with graduate student Larry Page, which became a decisive moment in the biography of both computer geniuses.
First, young people were permanent opponents on discussions, but gradually began friends and even wrote a joint scientific work "Anatomy of a large-scale hypertex-based Internet search system", which proposed a new data processing principle to search for information in the global network. This work eventually became the 10th in popularity among all the scientific works of Stanford.
In 1994, a young experimenter created a program that in automatic mode, new images on the "Playiboy" site and downloaded photos into the memory of a brine computer.
But gifted mathematics decided not to leave scientific work exclusively on paper. Programmers created on its basis a student search engine BACK RUB, which proved the viability of this idea. Sergey and Larry belongs to the thought not just to give out the result of processing the search query, but to rank the obtained data on demand from other users. Now this is the norm for all systems.
In 1998, being graduates of the university, young people decided to sell their own idea, but no one was dealt with such an acquisition. Then after creating a business plan, which showed that the initial capital requires an amount of $ 1 million, young people decided to open the case themselves. Money had to take from relatives, friends and colleagues. And Brin, and Page left graduate school.
Improving some aspects of their kids, programmers have turned university development into a large-scale business. The new system received the name "Googol", which means "one with a hundred naly".
Well, the name today has happened to the whole world due to an error. When young people were looking for investors, only the head of "Sun Microsystems" Andy Beztol Shahim responded to their call. A businessman believed a young genius and wrote a check on the round sum, but not addressed to the registered "googol", but to a non-existent "Google Inc.".
Soon the media spoke soon about the new search engine. Even more raised his head "Google" when I stood in the early 2000s, "the collapse of the Dotcomms", when hundreds of Internet companies ruined one after another.
In 2007, David Wayz and Mark Malsid created the book "Google" on a unique search engine "Google". Breakthrough in the spirit of time ", which described the success story of each of the co-founders of the search engine and their achievement.
Sergey Brin believes that Apple's Organization of Steve Jobs and Facebook Stama Zuckerberg undermine the main idea of the Internet as a free network and free access to any information. Also, a businessman categorically disagree with the idea of struggle against Internet piracy and closing free access to books, music, films.
Personal life
For a long time, Sergey Brin's personal life was on the second plan. Already being famous and incredibly secured, Sergei Bryn has created a family. The programmer's wife has become a graduate of the Yale University in the direction of "Biology" and the founder of its own company 23andMe Anna Vozzynysky. The wedding took place in 2007 on the Bahamas, and a son born the son of Benji in the year after the spouses. In 2011, the family expanded again: now they have a daughter.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the girl did not strengthen the marital relationship. Two years later, due to the Roman Sergey with the employee of the corporation Amanda Rosenberg Brin and Vozgovsky, and in 2015 officially issued a divorce.
Sergey Brin is engaged in gigantic charitable investments. Including the entrepreneur listed $ 500 thousand to support the Wikipedia project, which, according to the American entrepreneur, is just responsible for the principles of free access to information.
Together with Larry Page Sergey engaged in fighting aging and finances a number of projects in this area. After Brin's mother fell ill with Parkinson's disease, and genetic analysis showed that he himself has a predisposition to this disease, the businessman ordered a biological corporation to calculate how the gene changes at the same time. Mathematician is confident that it is no more difficult to correct the error in genetics than in the computer code. It is just important to know what to correct.
Since Brin and Page launched in the development of interactive video cell glasses "Google Glass", Sergey does not part with them at home or on the street or at work. And in all photos since 2013, it appears with this "wizard" on the face.
Sergey Brin in everyday life far from kitsch and luxury. But the Creator of the "Google" eventually decided to change the housing for more comfortable. In the state of New Jersey, the programmer acquired a house, the cost of which reaches $ 49 million. Mansion consists of 42 rooms, most of which are bedrooms and bathrooms. In addition to residential premises, there is a swimming pool, a fitness center, a basketball court, wine cellar and bars.
Sergey Brin relates to innovations and technological projects, which can be seen by photo from his official "Instagram". A young man supports a healthy lifestyle, sports. The hobbies of Sergey enters an aircraft piloting.
The beginning of the extreme hobby laid the acquisition of a couple with a paging of the Boeing 767-200 aircraft, which was called "Google Jet". Its cost was $ 25 million. But, of course, the flights programmer trusts to make professionals, pleaseing with rare departures on a training ship.
Sergey Brin now
Sergey Brin and Larry Page continues to develop. The main office is located in the center of Silicon Valley. Democratic relationships to employees amazes even sophisticated observers.
Employees allowed 20% of working time to engage in personal affairs, come to work with four-legged pets, play sports games on Saturdays. Corporation Corporation serve only the cooks with the highest category. Both co-founders "Google" have not graduated from graduate school, so the doctors of Technical Sciences Eric Schmidt invited the Director General of the Director General, and they themselves were limited to presidents.
State assessment
In 2016, the Popular Magazine "Forbes" put Brin on the 13th line in the ranking of the richest people in the world. The financial growth of "Google Inc" began in 2004, and soon both co-valuable "Google" began to call themselves billionaires. In 2018, according to the estimates of financing, the state of Sergey Brin was $ 47.2 billion Larry Page is ahead of a colleague by $ 1.3 billion.
