This shift occurred after a modest increase in his net worth on Friday.  Alphabet&#8217;s stock decline had briefly pushed him down to fifth place.  The company&#8217;s market value dropped significantly due to AI spending forecasts.  This fluctuation highlights how stock movements impact billionaire rankings.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gadgetsnow.indiatimes.com\/brands\/Google\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener\">Google<\/a> co-founder <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sergey-brin\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sergey Brin<\/a> has returned to the third spot on Forbes&#8217; real-time billionaires list. With this change, Brin has moved back ahead of Amazon founder <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/jeff-bezos\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeff Bezos<\/a> and Michael Dell a day after Alphabet&#8217;s sharp stock decline briefly pushed him down to fifth place. <!-- -->The recovery came after a modest 0.5% increase in Brin&#8217;s net worth, following a session in which Google parent Alphabet lost roughly $255 billion in market value in what was reported as the company&#8217;s largest one-day valuation decline in its history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>According to Forbes, Brin&#8217;s fortune stood at an estimated $243.1 billion as of 11 a.m. ET on Friday (July 24). His wealth had dropped by more than $17 billion on Thursday (July 23) after Alphabet shares fell more than 7%, allowing Bezos and <!-- -->Dell<!-- --> to temporarily overtake him before Friday&#8217;s rebound restored his position in the rankings, the report claimed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>How Google parent Alphabet\u2019s stock decline reshuffled billionaire rankings<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Changes in the market value of Alphabet shares drove the shift in Brin&#8217;s ranking. He owns about 362.7 million shares of Google, which represents roughly a 3% stake in the company. Since Forbes updates billionaire wealth estimates in real time based largely on the value of publicly traded holdings, even relatively small stock price movements can alter the order of individuals whose fortunes are separated by only a few billion dollars.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Alphabet&#8217;s market sell-off came despite the company reporting its 12th consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth. However, investors reacted to the company&#8217;s updated forecast of artificial intelligence capital expenditures, which is expected to be between $195 billion and $205 billion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>AI spending outlook draws investor attention<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The higher AI investment guidance overshadowed Alphabet&#8217;s earnings performance, contributing to the decline in its share price this week. <!-- -->The fall reduced the value of Brin&#8217;s Alphabet holdings significantly, although the next day\u2019s slight recovery was enough to move him back ahead of Bezos and Dell on the real-time wealth rankings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Forbes calculates billionaire net worth using the market value of publicly traded shareholdings alongside estimates for private companies and other assets, including real estate, cash, investments, yachts and art. As a result, fluctuations in the share prices of companies such as Alphabet can quickly reshape the rankings during trading sessions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/technology\/tech-news\/sergey-brin-rises-again-to-worlds-third-richest-back-above-jeff-bezos-and-michael-dell-day-after-he-lost-millions-as-google-roughly-got-255-billion-erased-in-market-value-in-the-largest-one-day-valuation-loss-in-the-companys-history\/articleshow\/132621251.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google co-founder Sergey Brin regained third place on Forbes&#8217; real-time billionaires list.
