Google founder Larry Page had disappeared from the public eye.
However, recently he and co-founder Sergey Brin were known to have been summoned by Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet, Google’s parent company.
Page was known to have disappeared after deciding to step down from his position as CEO of Google and giving it to Pichai in 2015. He was known to have met Donald Trump, who was then the president of the United States (US), at the White House in 2016.
He did seem uncomfortable being under public scrutiny. Since he was still the leader of Google, Page did not like to be in the spotlight and rarely did interviews. Especially after having health problems with his voice.
For the past year, Page and his wife Lucinda Southworth have also reportedly lived in Fiji. The two are said to live on the island of Tavarua and reportedly bought one of the islands there.
When the pandemic hit the Earth, Page was also known to have lived in New Zealand and was reported to have become a citizen there. After his child needed medical care, he began living in the country in mid-January 2021.
His house in the United States (US) is also not free from the mysterious side. His residence in the Old Palo Alto area, California, US, reportedly became a secret office after it was said to have burned down last September.
He is said to have several houses there. However, Page is known to be very protective of his privacy.
However, the existence of ChatGPT which went viral, made Page return. The New York Times reported that Pichai was quite confused facing OpenAI’s program because it was considered to be better than Google Search.
Pichai finally asked for help from the two founders to maintain the dominance of the Google search engine. Page and Brin are said to have met with company officials to develop a strategy and agree on a plan to integrate the chatbot feature with the Google search engine.
