Larry Page Surpasses Jeff Bezos as World’s Third Richest List

Larry Page, the cofounder of Google and a key shareholder in Alphabet Inc., has officially overtaken Jeff Bezos to become the third-richest person in the world. This significant wealth jump came on the heels of the announcement of Google’s Gemini 3 AI model and a stellar quarterly performance by Alphabet.

What Drove Larry Page’s Rise in Net Worth?

Following Alphabet’s strong third-quarter earnings and the release of the Gemini 3 AI model, the company’s shares surged by nearly 6% in early trading. Though the gain later stabilized to 3.3%, it resulted in a $7.6 billion boost in Larry Page’s net worth.

  • Page holds a 3.2% stake in Alphabet
  • His real-time net worth as of November 21, 2025: $246.11 billion
  • Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google and holder of a 2.9% stake, also gained $7 billion, reaching a net worth of $228.20 billion

With this leap, Page moved ahead of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose wealth stands at $233.6 billion, securing the #3 spot on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List.

What Is Gemini 3 and Why It Matters

  • Enhanced performance in enterprise-level AI deployment
  • Aiding Google’s growing dominance in AI and cloud computing sectors
