Who Owns Google? Why Are They Not Famous Like Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc?
Sergey Brin and Larry page effectively have controlling interest of Google. There type of stock essentially has more voting power to the point where the two of them control the ultimate decisions of the company. Their shares don't entitle them to additional dividends just more voting power. This would most likely have been reshuffled, due to Alphabet.
They are very famous and the founders of Google. They aren't as famous as the people you mentioned because they live very humble lives. I heard that Sergey Brin used to drive a Toyota Prius to work every day. Quite simple for a billionaire. Also not the type of lifestyle to attract too much attention. (Thank you for the correction)
They tend to pick which projects they work on so they tend to do a lot of stuff that are outside the companies scope. I believe Sergey is currently working on a project to increase human life span. Though you could think of both of them as the money men behind all of Alphabets companies including Google.
