Forbes offers an interesting profile, “The Golden Touch,” of two of Google’s initial VC investors, John Doerr and Michael Moritz. Both of these men got fabulously rich off their Google shares: “Their personal gains, according to Forbes’ estimates, are likely north of $800 million apiece.”

Moritz has kept his stock but given up his board seat, while Doerr has cashed out some of his Google holdings but stayed on the board.
