Larry Page: World's Second-Richest Man. The Absurd Net Worth, Google's Empire, and Who Just Got Passed.
Alright, so Larry Page is now the second richest dude on the planet. Big freakin' deal. Another tech billionaire hoarding wealth while the rest of us are arguing about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. And offcourse, Alphabet's stock is soaring, thanks to the AI hype train. Color me shocked.
The Rise of the Machines (and Their Owners)
Let's be real, this whole "AI revolution" is just a way for these guys to get even richer. They sell us the dream of self-driving cars and robot butlers, and we hand over our data and our wallets. It's genius, I'll give 'em that. But is it actually good for society? That's the question nobody seems to want to ask.
Page's net worth jumped almost $15 billion in one day, according to some sources. Larry Page becomes second richest person in the world after Alphabet share rally — What's his net worth? Fifteen billion. How much good could that do if it was, you know, actually distributed instead of piled up in some offshore account? But hey, who am I to question the invisible hand of the market?
From Dorm Room to Domination
It's easy to forget that Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google in a Stanford dorm room. Now they're practically running the world. And yeah, they solved a search problem, but at what cost? Our privacy? Our attention spans? The ability to have a face-to-face conversation without checking our phones every five seconds?

Meta's supposedly going to be using Google's AI chips. That's what's driving the stock surge. So Facebook – sorry, Meta – the company that single-handedly destroyed democracy, is now relying on Google's AI. What could possibly go wrong? It's like watching two supervillains team up to take over the world.
And Ellison slipping down the list? Don't cry for him, Argentina. He's still richer than Croesus. These guys are playing a game with Monopoly money while the rest of us are struggling to pay rent.
The $4 Trillion Question
Alphabet's getting close to a $4 trillion valuation. Trillion! It's a number so big it barely even registers. What does that even mean? It means Larry Page and his buddies have more power than most countries. It means they can influence elections, control the flow of information, and shape the future of humanity. Are we really okay with that?
Then again, maybe I'm just jealous. Maybe I should've dropped out of college and started a tech company instead of writing angry blog posts. Nah, who am I kidding? I'd probably just waste all the money on pizza and beer.
So, What's the Real Story?
The system's rigged, and these guys are winning. End of story.
