Larry Page is renowned globally as one of the co-founders of the technology giant, Google, along with Sergey Brin. Inventor of the revolutionary PageRank system, he holds a significant 16% share in Google's stock. Succeeding Eric Schmidt in 2011, he served as the CEO of Google with a current estimated worth of $30.4 billion U.S. dollars, placing him at number 19 on the Forbes list of billionaires.

Born in 1973, Larry Page hailed from a computer science background as his father, Carl Page Sr., pioneered the field and served as a professor at Michigan State University. Mother, a college instructor, also played her part in exposing Larry to computer science concepts from an early age.

Page stepped into his father's shoes and enrolled at Stanford University's Computer Science Program intending to explore mathematical models behind the World Wide Web. Alongside his friend, Sergey Brin, Page developed the groundbreaking PageRank system that changed the way internet search operations are conducted today.

An entrepreneur at heart, Larry's interests weren't confined to Google alone. He has been an active investor in Tesla Motors and various renewable energy technologies, and is often seen pondering over the impactful role of digital technology in our lives.

Page is no stranger to accolades and was named the World Economic Forum Global Leader for Tomorrow in 2002. He, alongside Brin, also made it to the MIT Technology Top 100 Innovators under the age of 35.

Despite his professional achievements, Page has faced challenges with vocal cord paralysis, leading him to officially take a break from Google's quarterly announcements in 2013. Showcasing his commitment to overcoming adversity, Larry donated a large sum to a vocal cord nerve function research program in Boston.
