Has anyone ever been rated a billionaire before based on a VC valuation alone?

Looks like Larry and Sergey were rated as worth $1B each by Forbes in 2004. (List was published in February, Google IPO happened in August) http://bit.ly/549cO

I find it really hard to take these lists seriously.

How many billionaires (or even millionaires that you know) keep the fact close to their chest? There's probably a lot of quite rich people out there who are more than happy to let you think someone else is richer than them.

Keeps the vultures and losers away from them and lets them get on with enjoying life.

In fact I'm certain there's quite a few people to go to extensive lengths to stay OUT of lists like this.

EDIT: Oh and paper money does not count until you execute your trade. Just ask anyone who was "rich" before the crash.

it is also really hard to keep your net worth a secret when it's in billions.

I challenge you to give some examples of people who've got that rich (legally) yet kept it a secret.

I see a flaw in your challenge...

Good for him. He's created something incredibly valuable that I use frequently for personal and professional reasons and has managed to keep the site growing and functional.

This is a cool achievement and if he's worth $2B then so be it.

That must feel good, but it doesn't buy him much yet.

borism3• 17 years ago

Did he participate in Digital Sky or previous offerings along with other employees?

Otherwise his liquidity must be non-existent.

Unless of course he has borrowed against his stock, like many people did during the first bubble. I would hope that he would have the intelligence to not get over extended and count his chickens before they hatch.
