Turning Down Google
Google is among the world’s most lucrative enterprises, valued at almost one trillion dollars. It’s hard to imagine that Larry Page and Sergei Brin nearly sold the business to Yahoo back in 1998 for only $1 million. Thankfully for the two, Yahoo declined. Yahoo is currently worth $10 billion. This just shows that one man’s mistake can be another man’s gain. Larry Page now has $51 billion while Sergei Brin is worth $49 billion.

It was a close call. If the mistake had gone unnoticed, they would’ve kissed goodbye to money that coul change their lives and their entire family’s.
