Inside Larry Page’s Secret Family: Why the Google Founder Conceals His Children’s Names
By Marcus Vance
When Larry Page stepped down as Alphabet's Chief Executive Officer in December 2019, he did not just retire from quarterly earnings calls. He vanished from the public eye. Page retreated deep into an offshore life, using personal resources to insulate his household from scrutiny.
His 194-foot expedition yacht, *Senses*, purchased in 2011 for roughly $45 million, served as a mobile base for years. Outfitted with a helipad, ten luxury suites, and a 14-person permanent crew, the vessel allowed the family to tour remote regions of New Zealand, Tahiti, and Fiji without leaving their private ecosystem.
During the pandemic, Page took his isolation further by spending months in the remote Fijian islands, primarily on Tavarua and surrounding properties. Reports from local Pacific outlets revealed that Page utilized personal air shipments to deliver medical gear and critical goods directly to the island chain. In exchange, the Page family enjoyed virtually unlimited, unmolested isolation. His children grew up far removed from the tech gossip mills of San Francisco and the Silicon Valley suburbs.
