Who Owns Google?

Can someone explain who actually owns Google? I'm curious about its parent company, major stakeholders, or founders' current role.

Google is owned by Alphabet Inc., its parent company formed in 2015. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin created Google in 1998. Today, Alphabet oversees Google’s services, with Sundar Pichai serving as CEO of both Google and Alphabet.

Google’s actually part of this bigger beast called Alphabet Inc.—yeah, sounds way fancier than just “Google.” That whole switcheroo happened back in 2015, mostly so all the weird moonshot projects could be managed without messing up Google’s search engine shenanigans. Larry Page and Sergey Brin? They kicked things off, owned a ton of shares at first, but, you know, times change. Now, the ownership’s all over the place: stacks of shares with big-shot investors, tons of folks on Wall Street, and even regular people who just like the stock. If you’ve ever daydreamed about owning a slice of Google? Well, buy some Alphabet stock and, ta-da, you kind of do.
