谢尔盖·布林,全名谢尔盖·米克哈伊洛维奇·布林(Sergey Brin)(俄语: Сергей Михайлович Брин)是Google公司的创始人之一。是一位美国籍俄罗斯裔企业家。他出生在俄罗斯,在他与拉里·佩奇合作建立Google之前,他一直学习计算机科学和数学。谢尔盖目前是Google董事兼技术部总监,近年来在《福布斯》全球亿万富豪排行榜上始终名列前茅,2011年他以198亿美元位列第24位。


Sergey Mikhailovich Brin is famous for revolutionizing the world of Internet search engines. He co-founded Google with his research partner Larry Page. The whole world knows about Google, but perhaps knows little about Sergey Brin. He is the President of Technology at Google and takes an active role in shaping the company’s future. He is the fourth youngest billionaire in the world.


 


Brin was born in Moscow in 1973. Both his mother and father were mathematicians 1, which might explain Sergey’s genius for numbers and formulae. Brin and his family emigrated 2 to the United States when he was six. He attended a Montessori school and his father developed his interest in maths. He graduated from university in 1993 with a degree in maths and computer science.


 


Brin finished his master’s degree in computer science at America’s prestigious 3 Stanford University. He started his Ph.D. on the processes and calculations that search engines use. He teamed up with Larry Page and they wrote a paper that became the blueprint 4 for Google. He put his studies aside to focus on his new business project. It made him rich beyond his wildest dreams.


 


Although Brin’s ‘official’ salary is just over $43,000 a year, he has a personal fortune of  $18.5 billion. He has expanded his business interests into other areas of technology and movie production. In 2008, he invested $5 million in a space tourism company. He is also an investor 5 in Tesla Motors, which is developing a long-range electric car.
