At this point, many of us have grown accustomed to utilizing the internet for various purposes. One such use is research. With its capability of storing incredible amounts of data, the internet has also become an extensive library filled with information that we can access even through our phones. For this newfound convenience, we have people such as Sergey Brin to thank for.

During his time at Stanford University, studying for his doctorate in computer science, Sergey met Larry Page. The two eventually created the search engine we all know today as Google. Since then, he has spent a significant portion of his investment money on numerous projects revolving around the world’s climate and energy problems. One such project he has worked on was in 2010 when he and Larry invested in an offshore windfarm. Sergey is also an investor for Tesla Motors, a company specializing in eco-friendly and safe vehicles.
