Larry Page $23 B 40 Google United State
Larry Page, Google's cofounder and CEO since April 2011, saw the company through the $50 billion revenue milestone in 2012. The stock rose nearly 30% in the past year, adding more than $4 billion to Page's net worth. With Google's desktop search business beginning to mature, Page is focusing more of his attention on mobile, an area which he called "uncharted territory" during the company's fourth quarter earnings call. Page recently called out Google's archrival Apple for doing only a few things well. He wants to tap the brains of his company to deliver "moon shots" of innovation, saying "If you're not doing some things that are crazy, then you're doing the wrong things." A resident of Palo Alto, Page is a major proponent of cleaner forms of energy. His network of houses uses new types of fuel cells, geothermal energy and rainwater capture. Both Page and his cofounder Sergey Brin are investors in electric car maker Tesla Motors. Page also invested with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in a new venture to mine asteroids with robotic ships. Page is still recovering from a mysterious ailment that caused him to lose his voice in June.
