The Google boys were rich. Now it's getting obscene.

 

Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page each saw his net worth jump $875 million yesterday — to a whopping $6.5 billion apiece — after Google, the most popular online search engine, reported blowout results.

 

Google's already skyrocketing share price surged another 15 percent yesterday to close at $172.43 in Nasdaq trading. Earlier in the day, the stock jumped as much as 21 percent.

 

The stock has more than doubled since August, when the company first sold shares at $85 through an unusual auction-style IPO.

 

In just three short months, Page and Brin, who each own about 38 million shares, have seen the value of their individual stakes rise by about $3 billion, to more than $6.5 billion.
