While a student in the PhD program in computer science at Stanford University, Page met Sergey Brin and, together they developed and ran the Google search engine, which began operating in 1998. Google is based on patented PageRank technology, which relies on the structure of links between web sites to determine the ranking of an individual site. He is still "on leave" from the PhD program.

As of October 2004, Page and co-founder Sergey Brin are estimated to be worth $6 billion apiece.

Page is currently, as of March 2005, the President of Products at Google.
