| When Larry Page Speaks the World Must Listen |
Born in Michigan in 1973, Larry Page's parents were both
computer experts, so it was no surprise that he studied computer
engineering at Stanford University. That's where he met Sergey Brin.
Together, Page and Brin developed a search engine that listed results
according to the popularity of the pages, calling it "Google." Since
launching Google in 1998, the commpany has become the world's most
popular search engine, averaging nearly 6 billion searches daily in 2013.
Early Life and Career
Larry Page was born Lawrence Page on March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan. His father, Carl Page, was a pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence, and his mother taught computer programming. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the University of Michigan, Page decided to concentrate on computer engineering at Stanford University, where he met Sergey Brin.Google Begins
As a research project at Stanford University, Page and Brin created a search engine that listed results according to the popularity of the pages, after concluding that the most popular result would often be the most useful. They called the search engine "Google" after the mathematical term "googol," which refers to the No. 1 followed by 100 zeros, to reflect their mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.After raising $1 million from family, friends and other investors, the pair launched the company in 1998. Google has since become the world's most popular search engine, receiving an average of 5.9 billion searches per day in 2013. Headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, Google held its initial public offering in August 2004, making Page and Brin billionaires.
Recent Years
In 2006, Google purchased the most popular website for user-submitted streaming videos, YouTube, for $1.65 billion in stock.In September 2013, Page was ranked No. 13 on the "Forbes 400" list of the richest people in America. That October, he was ranked No. 17 on Forbes' 2013 "Most Powerful People" list. Now serving as Google's CEO, Page continues to share responsibility for the company's day-to-day operations with Brin, who now serves as director of special projects for Google, and Eric Schmidt, the company's executive chairman.

| Larry's House in California, USA |
Larry Page has a historic peace of property for his
home. He bought the deed of this place for approximately $ 7 million. The
complete lot is spread over 10, 00-0 feet. He has built another home on the
same piece of property, which is 6, 000 sq feet in size. This new home is
completely environment friendly. This is a modern, three level mansion, which
has roof garden along with solar panels making it a quintessential green
building. It also has a 3, 500 sq feet basement and an elevator that stops on
all the three floors. The basement consists of kitchen, multipurpose family
room and a guest bed room. Page also owns three adjacent properties.
In January
2011, the Google co-founder added to his long list of toys a high-end
expedition yacht named “Senses.” Costing a little over US $45 million, the
193-ft yacht was bought from renowned Kiwi businessman Sir Douglas Meyers. .
However, for an inquisitive mind that Larry has the decision was not as easy as
it seems. He took his own sweet time, chartering similar yachts to gain a clear
understanding of how these yachts operate, the finance involve and other
details. The yacht was completed in 1999 by German boat-makers Schweers.
Features and
Toys
This Yacht
has its interior designed by the famous French designer Phillippe Starck. It
comes with a helipad, gym, ten luxurious suites and multi level sun decks. Page
and his family can enjoy the breakfast on the deck before retiring to the
living rooms where they can enjoy movies through a movie projector mounted on
the ceiling. Among the army of its high-utility toys the main are a classic 8.5
meters Herreshof sloop, a helicopter and a 13m runabout that could be launched
from the back of the mothership.
Accommodations
The yacht
offers very comfortable accommodation for up to ten guests and a crew of 14 in
its five guest cabins: three double and two twins. The owner's suite is 12m
wide and has a walk-in wardrobe.
Specifications
Senses has a
steel hull and gross displacement of 1143 tonnes. Two Deutz AG engine power the
yacht by producing a combined output of 3200 HP. The yacht has a rather humble
maximum speed of 14 knots, and can cruise for 6500 miles at 11.8 knots cruise
speed.

Larry Page's Private jets ( 1 )
The Google
Jet, as it is popularly known is a Boeing 767-200 is the property of Larry Page
and Sergy Brin, the two co-founders of Google. They bought the jet back in
September, 2005 for around $ 15 million from Qantas. Originally the jet had a
seating capacity for 180, but was modified to seat 50. The google founders are
strictly private about their private plane and thus there are not much details
available about the interiors of the plane. According to some reports the plane
features hammocks hung from the ceiling and possibly a California king size bed
for Mr. Brin. Leslie Jennings, who has already done work for Microsoft
co-founder Paul Allen has reportedly done the interiors of this plane. The
plane has now been retrofitted, and is jetting Google executives all around the
world.
