(单词翻译)
Sergey Mikhailovich Brin is famous for revolutionizing the world of Internet search engines. He co-founded Google with his research partner Larry Page. The whole world knows about Google, but perhaps knows little about Sergey Brin. He is the President of Technology at Google and takes an active role in shaping the company’s future. He is the fourth youngest billionaire in the world.
Brin was born in Moscow in 1973. Both his mother and father were mathematicians1, which might explain Sergey’s genius for numbers and formulae. Brin and his family emigrated2 to the United States when he was six. He attended a Montessori school and his father developed his interest in maths. He graduated from university in 1993 with a degree in maths and computer science.
Brin finished his master’s degree in computer science at America’s prestigious3 Stanford University. He started his Ph.D. on the processes and calculations that search engines use. He teamed up with Larry Page and they wrote a paper that became the blueprint4 for Google. He put his studies aside to focus on his new business project. It made him rich beyond his wildest dreams.
Although Brin’s ‘official’ salary is just over $43,000 a year, he has a personal fortune of $18.5 billion. He has expanded his business interests into other areas of technology and movie production. In 2008, he invested $5 million in a space tourism company. He is also an investor5 in Tesla Motors, which is developing a long-range electric car.
