1 Brin/Page = 11 Doerrs

While it’s goood to be KPCB venture guy John Doerr (#346 on the Forbes list of 500 wealthiest Americans), it’s worth putting it in Brin/Page terms. Doing the math, 1 Brin/Page = 11 Doerrs, or 330 places on the Forbes list, with Doerr at #346 and Google founders Brin & Page at #16. Granted, I’d still take John’s spot in a pinch.
