Sergey Brin was born August 21, 1973, in Moscow, Soviet Union and he is the co-founder of Google, Inc., the world's largest Internet company, with his university mate, Larry Page.

Forbes ranks him as the 26th richest person in the world.

Sergey Brin was the son of Michael Brin and Eugenia Brin, both graduates of Moscow State University. His father is a mathematics professor at the University of Maryland, and his mother is a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

He is Jewish, so, when he was child in URSS, he had to abandon the dream to become astronaut and found difficulties to be accepted in good schools.

In 1979, when Brin was six, his family felt compelled to emigrate to the United States. For the first year since they arrived, they had very bad economic problems.

Brin attended grade school at Paint Branch Montessori School in Adelphi, Maryland, but he received further education at home; his father, who became later a professor in the department of mathematics at the University of Maryland, nurtured his interest in mathematics.

In September 1990, after having attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Brin enrolled in the University of Maryland, College Park to study computer science and mathematics, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in May 1993 with honors.

He met his future friend and business partner Larry Page during an orientation for new students at Stanford and they began work on a project called "The Anatomy of a Large-scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine". And what happen later is history...

In 2007 he married graduate of Yale Anne Wojcicki and they have a son, Benji, born in December 2008.
