Here's where Google's first 21 employees are now (GOOG, GOOGL)

Only six of Google's earliest employees still work at the internet giant — and that includes founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Some early Google employees have gone on to become entrepreneurs, while others are now angel investors, and a lucky few have gone on to become top executives at other tech companies. A few are happily retired.

In 2015, a Quora user compiled a list of all the original Googlers and where there careers have taken them. Only six of the original 21 are still at the company, which reorganized to become Alphabet almost three years ago.

Here is what's become of the first 21 employees since launching their careers at Google.
