The youngest richest self made men in america. Age 30. I guess it pays to do a ph.D thesis at stanford after all!

:Grrrrrr

Could you c/p it HQ? I'm not a subscriber.

and he doesnt run a tgp!

Heh, you know what the experts say about peer groups.


I really gotta stop wasting my fucking life on this board! :Graucho

Good on them

not surprising at all
and google is not on the stock market yet

Yeah, but why would they? They don't need capital investment... they run a webpage, thats it. Heh.

Anyone got some insider info on whether they ever WILL go public tho?

:Graucho

They're not worth that much not even on paper

They can't, not with their current business model...

Google would take a huge hit if they went public, they don't manage their money making programs for shit, tons of internal problems. Till google does a major overhaul, it would be stupid to invite more eyes on the inside of their business.

Similar (sort of) was when Virgin went public. Huge success at first, but every time Branson made a hasty/crazy decision (which he did all the time and was the key to his success -- luck) investors freaked out.

My theory anyway...

i remember when a good friend was telling me that google will become the no1 SE. That was at their very early stages. To be honest, I didn't pay any attention because back then altavista, lycos and infoseek where the ultimate kings and I didnt have a clue about internet innovations.

Yup, I was an altavista junkie before google... now I go there only to translate shit that german chicks send me on ICQ... haha

pff my tgp makes 900mill a day ... what noobs

and just think, they have only done 1/16th of what they could do with that site.... they made all of that pimpin their listings to other engines and PPC.... insane...

but im not impressed.... 900mil? peanuts for me! :winkwink:

Nah, I don't think his ph.D had anything to do with it! Alot of people that have ph.D's and their a business person, like CTO, CEO's and have MBA's say that it wasn't worth it...It might help some people, but it doesn't help everybody, except waste their money!


And also, is that how much the company is worth or the actual owners have that much?

I guess we're in the wrong industry :glugglug

i think what got google get where it is today was the plain fact that they have the most simple looking website, without ANY ads... (well, now they have ads, but they are certainly not intrusive like most sites, nor are they graphical)

Congrats Sergei and Larry :)

Bastards!

The irony is that even with all that networth, they probably don't have a lot of personal cash on hand. Unlike Bill Gates, whose wealth is tied up in liquid assets (stock on the NASDAQ), these guys have their wealth tied up in a private company (NOT liquid). I'm willing to bet that there are at least a few people in porn that have more liquid assets / cash on hand than those guys.

The Google guys' only liquid assets would come from compensation from their own company. They can't really sell portions of their assets for cash as easily as Bill Gates and those other guys on the list could.

WOW. You are 100% ignorant. First off, Both the owners did their ph.D theis ON google. Secondly, you get PAID to do your ph.D... not a whole lot but around $20,000/year instead of PAYING $20,000/year.

LOL... wow you're an idiot!

Hell no... small industry.

with all that cash you would think i could get a break on some keywords...

I wonder what sites they are members of. What porn does Micheal Dell like?
