Google Co-Founder Larry Page Acquires $32M Island in Puerto Rico

Published February 4, 2024

Larry Page, the celebrated co-founder of Google, which now operates under the parent company Alphabet Inc. GOOG, has expanded his personal asset portfolio with the acquisition of a private island in Puerto Rico, valued at $32 million. Notably, this significant purchase was finalized discreetly in 2018 via a limited liability company named US Virgin Island Properties, linked to Page and his wife, Lucinda.

Alphabet's Continued Success

Alphabet Inc., a leading player in the global technology sector and one of the most valuable companies worldwide, oversees Google along with an array of other ventures. Since its restructuring in 2015, Alphabet has become synonymous with innovation and growth within the tech industry. The company's influence is seen not just in its substantial revenue but also in its reign as a top-tier technology enterprise headquartered in Mountain View, California.

Meta Platforms' Connectivity Ambition

Similar to Alphabet's wide-reaching influence is Meta Platforms, Inc. META, which aims to connect the world through its development of vast communication platforms. From Menlo Park, California, Meta Platforms harnesses cutting-edge technologies to unite people via mobile devices, VR headsets, wearables, and other household technologies.

Investments such as the one made by Larry Page in Puerto Rico's Cayo Norte Island may appear separate from the day-to-day operations of companies like Alphabet and Meta, but they are nonetheless illustrative of the wealth and impact that these tech giants have on their founders and the possibilities that arise from their success.
