According to Wall Street estimates, the entire American newspaper business is worth $20 billion and sinking fast — and that includes the non-newspaper business like test prep, television and radio holdings. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google's cofounders, are worth nearly $16 billion each according to Forbes (though that number has been shrinking of late as well).
