Well now that they're successful, the net worth of the 2 creators increase by 2.2 billion dollars each, every year.
That's amazing for only like a few of dollars of investment from creating a W3 invalid yucky ugly webpage with a aliased logo and uses free 3rd party services (in the beginning of course...)

They could probably spice up their site. I mean, they have so many new addons (including Checkout which came out not too long ago) and they're competing with everyone. Amazon actually switched back to Microsoft search a little while ago, but I don't think people will go back to AskJeeves and MSN after dealing with Google once. My brother found the site early in 2000 and I've used it ever since. Before then, I don't think I really stayed on the Internet for anything but Diablo II and the Warcraft series. Yeah, I know, geeky.
Google's one of the world's premiere success stories but the thing that really makes them great is their eye on making things better, not making money. Working for Google gets you benefits, lovely meals, a lot of freedom, challenge, and fun. In addition, some of the world's greatest minds are just having a blast programming silly programs (remember their April Fool's joke a few years ago?). I read in Time that they could have made about 80 million from this one advertising company, but they refused because that wouldn't provide much for the end user.
And it's kind of funny that they have a supervisor now - Eric Schmidt - because at heart, they're just two little kids who found something new to play with. I hope Google keeps going up. I expect only good things.
