Why are we so hung up on his new gf's looks? It could very well be that he really enjoys her company and bangs other hotties on the side. He's a BILLIONNAIRE afterall, he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

I hear he's a big fan of Roosh's work:

Reading up about her a bit, a former boyfriend says she "knows the power of her womanly ways."

The chick targeted him. She's a ladder climber, plain and simple. She also apparently slept with the head of Android division before he quit Google.

Sergey Brin
Google co-founder Sergey Brin, 41, is known for his love of special projects like Google Glass and CEO Larry Page has credited him for helping bring its new biotech company Calico to fruition. “We’re tackling ageing, one of life’s greatest mysteries,” says the website of the research and development company launched in 2013 and which in September 2014 joined with biopharmaceutical firm AbbVie to pour up to $1.5bn into a research facility focused on fighting age-related diseases.

Yes, you need game the most. But not to bang the underlings. You need it to the get with the top-tier women like Kate Upton or Elle MacPherson. This, historically, is the type of woman billionaires have gone after. The short, homely Aristotle Onassis, for example, didn't date his secretary -- he went after (and got) THE most desired woman in America. That's game.

That's right. Onassis. He also had well known affairs with Maria Callas (opera singer) and others, and likely many others not named. The important point about Jackie Kennedy here is that Onassis decided he wanted the queen of American Camelot as his. Done. Game? Not sure, but certainly a power play.

I'm watching Calico. They've recruited a lot of the old school players at Genentech. Aging is challenging as it is not considered a "disease" so drugging this target will require creative approaches scientifically as well as in dealing with regulatory issues.

Sergey Brin has very attractive supporters, by the way.

One from Russia wrote him a long and very interesting letter:

http://mariakonovalenko.wordpress.com/20...rgey-brin/

Dear Mr. Brin,

I’ve heard you are interested in the topics of aging and longevity. This is very cool, because fighting for radical life extension is the wisest and most humanitarian strategy. I would like to tell you what needs to be done, but, unfortunately, I haven’t got your email address, or any other way to be heard. 100,000 people die from aging-related causes every day, but what makes the situation even worse is that the scientists know how to tackle this problem, but don’t have clue how to convey their message to those people, who could change the situation and make the creation of human life extension technologies possible.



Therefore, I am simply writing in my blog, hoping, that maybe somehow you will read this letter, or that maybe my friends will give me some advice on how it could be delivered to you, or that maybe someone would send it to you.

So, here it goes.

There is no more important goal than preserving human life. Aging limits our lifespan, and is the main contributing factor for diseases responsible for most human mortality and suffering, including heart disease, stroke, adult cancers, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Defeating or simply slowing down aging is the most useful thing that can be done for all the people on the planet. It is the most complicated task in the history of mankind. Molecular-genetic studies of laboratory animals, over the last two decades, have demonstrated that the problems of aging are not insoluble. By modifying regulatory pathways, scientists have repeatedly succeeded in extending lifepan – by up to twofold in insects and rodents, and as much as 10-fold in worms and yeast. These same studies have greatly expanded our understanding of those pathways, which are remarkably well conserved from yeast to humans. In view of that conservation, we have every reason to believe that similar strategies will work for humans.

Also the cover of Newsweek magazine is on this same subject:

Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, hopes to someday “cure death.”

SENS, which has an annual operating budget of $5 million, is puny compared with the Sergey Brin-led Project Calico, Google’s attempt to “cure death,” which is planning to pump billions into a partnership with pharmaceutical giant AbbVie. Google is notoriously secretive, but it’s rumored to be building a drug to mimic foxo3, a gene associated with exceptional life span.
