Sergey Brin Gains $7.64B in a Day as GOOGL Jumps 3.17%

Sergey Brin added $7.64B of net worth on July 16, 2026, one of the day's biggest moves among the world's richest people. The swing (+$7.64B, or 2.99%) leaves the fortune at an estimated $263.52B, ranked #6 on our real-time list.

The move traces to GOOGL, the listed company behind most of the fortune, which climbed 3.17% on the day to 370.92 USD per share. Because a billionaire's wealth is concentrated in stock, daily net worth simply follows the share price multiplied by the shares held.

The gain narrows the gap to Mark Zuckerberg, who sits one place higher at $268.46B — now $4.94B away. Behind, Jensen Huang follows at $175.00B.

Co-founder of Google, former president of Alphabet Inc.
