Sergey Brin(Co-founder of Google, Inc.)

Sergey was born in Moscow, Russia in1973. His family moved to the UnitedStates in 1979. His parents enrolledhim in a Montessori school thatemphasized independence andcreativity, a critical inflection point inhis life.

He earned a degree in mathematicsand computer science from theUniversity of Maryland. He enteredStanford University earning anadvanced degree in computer science,where he met Larry Page. The twocreated a search engine that would sortweb pages based on popularity. Theynamed the search engine “Google”based on the mathematics term“googol.” In 1998, they raised $1 Millionfrom family and friends and went publicin 2004, making Sergey a billionaire.

Sergey is a devout fan of the BurningMan Fair, which is a week-long artfestival in the Nevada desert attractingsome of the world’s most famousindustry tech leaders.

He has a fitness obsession, typicallywearing workout clothes, and a wildsense of humor. He once conductedinterviews dressed as a cow! Later hewas referred to as the “EnlightenmentMan” honoring his dedication to solvingthe world’s problems.

In speaking to kids about money I get lots of different(and sometimes funny) questions, but the question Iget most is: How do I become a millionaire? Whilethis is not the simplest question to answer, I explainthat in terms of investing, becoming a millionairecomes down to four factors:

• When you start an investment plan• How much money you start with• How much you invest each month• What type of return do you expect to earn on your money

I explain that by answering these questions, you cancalculate how long it will take to become amillionaire. Below is a table that calculates the ageat which you could become a millionaire based ondifferent answers to the above questions (thisassumes that income earned is reinvested).

It is important toremember that becoming amillionaire is dependent onmaintaining a long-terminvestment horizon – inother words, essentiallyignoring the ups and downsof the stock market. In fact, if youviewed market declines as additionalbuying opportunities, this strategy could result inachieving your goal sooner. Also note, if your returnassumption is too conservative (e.g., bank account)your money may be safer, but the return you earn willlikely not be enough to reach your millionaire goal.
