    “newest self-made billionaire.”

    Uh-huh. She was in a relationship with Sergey Brin when she founded 23andme. She really tightened her belt and pulled herself up by her bootstraps. Such an inspiration.

      No, Brin was married to her sister Anne, the biotech analyst.

      In fact him and Larry Page started up Google in Susan Wojcicki’s garage in Menlo Park. Perhaps in gratitude he later funded her (it is not mentioned in his Wiki).
