Google millionaires

Source: CNET

Estimates are that "more than 900 [Google] employees became instant millionaires when Google went public in August 2004, and that total has likely ballooned along with the stock price." Some have dropped out of Google (hence the term Xooglers) to travel or go back to school or write books - but others are fueling the next wave of startups.

Xoogler-founded companies include Twitter and municipal Wi-Fi developer Meraki. But probably the most infamous Xoogler is the millionaire Google massage therapist, Bonnie Brown. Now retired, she's established a charitable foundation, and written a book called Giigle. She's giigling all the way to the bank.
