Larry Page
Actor1 list appearance
Largely out of the public eye since 2019—partly due to chronic partial vocal cord paralysis—Page nonetheless retains the largest single block of shareholder voting power at Alphabet (27.4%, and an outright 52.7% voting majority alongside Brin) and chairs Alphabet's Board Executive Committee. Outside Alphabet, he has channeled hundreds of millions into electric aviation (Zee.Aero/Kitty Hawk and ultralight eVTOL maker Pivotal) and in 2025 quietly launched AI-driven factory-design startup **Dynatomics** led by former Kitty Hawk CTO Chris Anderson. Fueled by Alphabet's Gemini AI surge across late 2025 and 2026, Page nearly doubled his fortune year-over-year—becoming in 2026 only the third human in history to surpass a $300 billion net worth. Ahead of California's retroactive January 1, 2026 billionaire wealth-tax cutoff (Proposition 40, ultimately rejected by voters in November 2026), Page quietly moved his family office Koop to Delaware, aviation entity One Aero to Florida, and acquired two Coconut Grove waterfront estates in Miami for $173.4 million.
