Google billionaire weds long-time girlfriend

May 17, 2007, 23:56 GMT

San Francisco - Sergey Brin, the billionaire co-founder of web search leader Google, married his long-time girlfriend Anne Wojcicki in a secret ceremony in the Bahamas, the San Jose Mercury News reported Thursday.

The Silicon Valley newspaper said the couple tied the knot in a Jewish ceremony held on a sandbar off the coast, and that they wore swimsuits because they swam to the location.

Other guests were conventionally attired and made it to the ceremony via boat, the report said.

The phenomenal success of Google has made Brin, 33, one of the richest people in the world, with a fortune estimated at 14 billion dollars.

The couple met when Wojcicki's sister rented Brin and business partner Larry Page the garage in which they got Google off the ground in 1998.
