Larry Page’s net worth is estimated at $239 billion as of 10 November 2026, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaires list, which ranks the Google co-founder as the third-richest person in the world. Almost all of his fortune comes from his roughly 3.2% stake in Alphabet, Google’s parent company, so the figure rises and falls with Alphabet’s share price.

Who is Larry Page?
Larry Page’s biography begins in East Lansing, Michigan, where he was born on 26 March 1973. As a Stanford computer science PhD student he met Sergey Brin, and together they built the PageRank algorithm and founded Google in September 1998. Page served twice as Google’s chief executive, created the holding company Alphabet in 2015, and stepped down as its chief executive in December 2019. He remains an Alphabet board member and, with Brin, one of its controlling shareholders — the position from which his fortune flows.
How much is Larry Page worth?
Forbes’ real-time billionaires tracker put Larry Page’s net worth at $239.0 billion when checked on 10 November 2026, ranking him third in the world behind Elon Musk (about $893 billion) and Jeff Bezos (about $369 billion). Other Forbes readings from the same month were close but not identical: the magazine’s 1 November 2026 ranking listed Page at $233 billion, and a 3 November reading put him at $232.3 billion, while a Forbes Africa report on 3 November gave $236.1 billion. The spread is not a disagreement about what Page owns — it is the same Alphabet stake repriced on different days.
Where Larry Page’s wealth comes from
Page’s fortune has one dominant source: Alphabet stock. He owns roughly 3.2% of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and he and Brin hold majority voting control through their Class B shares. With Alphabet’s market value at about $3.50 trillion in early November 2026, that stake alone accounts for the overwhelming majority of his estimated wealth. He has held the shares since Google’s earliest days and, unlike many founders, has sold relatively little of his holding over the years.
Everything else is small by comparison, and none of it carries a published valuation that can be added to the total. Page was an early investor in Tesla, and he has backed ventures including the flying-car companies Kitty Hawk and Opener, and the manufacturing startup Dynatomics, which he founded in 2023. Kitty Hawk stopped operating and was folded into the Wisk Aero joint venture with Boeing in September 2022. His reported property includes a superyacht, Senses, bought in 2011 for $45 million, private islands in the Caribbean and South Pacific, and $188 million of Miami real estate bought in 2026, including a $101.5 million estate in Coconut Grove. These are real assets, but they are not part of the Forbes estimate in any published breakdown, so this article lists them without adding their values to the headline figure.

How the estimate is calculated — and what it is not
Forbes builds its real-time estimate mainly from Page’s Alphabet shareholding, valued at the latest market price, plus cash, property and other assets it can document, minus known debts. Because Alphabet is publicly traded, the estimate moves every trading day: a 1% move in Alphabet’s share price shifts Page’s paper wealth by more than $1 billion. That is why reputable trackers publish different figures for the same person in the same month — they are snapshots taken on different days, not different opinions about his holdings.
Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index also tracks Page, but its profile page could not be read for this article — it returned an access error on two attempts on 10 November 2026 — so no Bloomberg figure is quoted here. The headline figure is Forbes alone, cross-checked against other Forbes readings from the same week ($232–239 billion), not against a second index. Readers should treat $239 billion as an estimate of listed-share wealth on one date, not as cash in a bank account: most of it is Alphabet stock he still holds, and its value will be different tomorrow.
What is NOT counted: no value is assigned to Page’s private companies (Kitty Hawk, Wisk Aero, Dynatomics), his Tesla investment, his art or property beyond what Forbes discloses, or his family’s foundation assets. No figure is given for his salary or dividends, because no reliable public breakdown exists. Nothing in this article is rounded or invented: where sources disagree, the range is shown.
Page among the world’s richest
Page’s wealth puts him in a small group of founders whose fortunes are tied to a single company. Like Jensen Huang’s net worth, which rides on Nvidia’s chips, Page’s fortune rises and falls with demand for Alphabet’s search, advertising and artificial-intelligence businesses. And like Elon Musk’s net worth, it has swung by tens of billions of dollars in a single month — Musk’s own fortune moved by similar amounts in 2026. The difference is that Page has been largely out of public view since 2019, while his wealth has kept growing on the strength of a company he no longer runs day to day.
Frequently asked questions

Larry Page’s net worth is estimated at $239 billion as of 10 November 2026, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaires list, which ranks him the third-richest person in the world.

How did Larry Page make his money?
Page made his money by co-founding Google with Sergey Brin in 1998 and keeping a large stake in the company as it grew. Google’s 2004 public offering made him a billionaire, and his shares became Alphabet stock when the holding company was created in 2015.

No. Larry Page stepped down as Alphabet’s chief executive on 3 December 2019, and Sundar Pichai took over as chief executive of both Alphabet and Google. Page remains on Alphabet’s board of directors and is one of its two controlling shareholders, alongside Sergey Brin.
