Simon Griffiths is
an Australian entrepreneur whose first post-graduate social enterprise
was Ripple, a click-to-give and search-to-give website that donates
100% of its revenue to development aid organizations. His current
project is a nonprofit bar called Shebeen.
Shebeen sells exotic beer and wine from the developing world. The
profits from each drink sale supports a development project in that
drink’s country of origin. What we love about this is that Simon has
finally found a way for people to do good by getting drunk.

Marc Nager
Marc Nager is the CEO of Startup Weekend,
a nonprofit organization that hosts events in which developers,
designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come
together to share ideas, form teams, build products and literally
launch an actual startup over the course of 54 hours. What we love
about Marc is that he acquired a for-profit company, turned it into a
non-profit and then scaled it into a global organization.
Sergey Brin
again reputed to be worth more than $17.5bn – Brin is also the
co-founder of Google and high on our list of famous entrepreneurs.
Okay, so the Google guys have kicked this list off in good style. Next, we're staying with the entrepreneur online theme but moving into slightly different territory...
Our next entrepreneurs are still part of our online world and possibly more famous than the boys behind Google above!

Lawrence Page
reputed to be worth a staggering $17.5bn – at 37 years old, Larry is the co-founder of Google Inc .With
his parents guidance Lawrence was groomed for success in the IT
industry and from the beginning Page was destined to be successful one
way or another. But it was his collaboration with his soon to be
co-founder, Sergey Brin, whilst studying at Stamford that was the
turning point for the young Page. After struggling to hit it off as
friends initially the pair started working on a project together that
evolved into what we now know to be the Google search engine. Failing
to sell the plan as they had wanted to at the outset, the pair were
able to bring in enough funding to set up the business themselves and
in September 1998 Google Inc opened in Menlo Park, California. The rest
as they say was history.
I've grouped the next addition together with the previous one as the two seem to go pretty much hand in hand...a pair of web entrepreneurs who have made millions online!
