In 2015, Google became Alphabet, and changed everything. Now, these execs are breaking into everything from drone delivery to life sciences.

The company's core business — search, YouTube, and Android — would remain a part of Google, under the watch of CEO Sundar Pichai. The rest would be broken out into separate companies, each with their own CEOs. All would fall under the auspices of the new Alphabet construct, led by Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

These non-Google companies that make up the Silicon Valley conglomerate are usually referred to as the"Other Bets," which is how they are labeled on Alphabet's financial statements.

One was a child chess prodigy, who created a smash hit video game by the age of 17. Another is the largest individual shareholder in Apple. Notably, none are women.
