Larry Page co-founded Google in 1998 with Sergey Brin, building the search engine on the PageRank algorithm he devised as a Stanford PhD student to rank web pages by their link structure.

Page's mother, Gloria, was Jewish, so he is of Jewish descent through her; he has said he was raised without a strong religious upbringing.
