Sergey and Larry make the Forbes top five richest

Steve Safran September 22nd, 2007

Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page are tied for #5 in this years’ Forbes Magazine list of the richest Americans. They’re both 34 years old, and their net worth went up about $4.5 billion each in the last year. They displace members of the Walton family, of Wal-Mart fame. Sergey and Larry have an estimated $18.5 billion apiece. Bill Gates, of course, is at #1 (it’s his 14th year in a row at the top spot) with $59 billion, Warren Buffet’s #2 with $52 billion, Sheldon Adelson (you’ve probably been in one of his casinos) is #3, Oracle’s Larry Ellison is #4. As soon as Cory sells LR, we’ll make the list and we’re totally sharing the money with you. Seriously.
