Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, has reached third place in the ranking of the world's richest people, surpassing Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, following a significant increase in Alphabet's shares. This increase was fueled by solid revenues in the third quarter and heightened interest in the new artificial intelligence model Gemini 3. Page's net worth rose by approximately $7.6 billion, thanks to his 3.2% stake in the company. Sergey Brin, his colleague, also recorded a substantial gain, securing fifth place in the ranking. Elon Musk remains in first place, followed by Larry Ellison, while Jeff Bezos has dropped to fourth place. The rise in Alphabet's shares is attributed to remarkable financial performance, including Google Cloud revenues, which increased by 34%. Investor confidence was also bolstered by Warren Buffett's surprising investment.
