Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) closed up $7.10 to hit an all time high of $560.10 per share, breaking its previous 52-week high of $558.58. At a new market cap of $175 billion, this puts Google just a few billion behind Walmart (NYSE:WMT)

I guess Sergey Brin and Larry Page were having their best week ever – someone contact VH1.

The duo was also pegged at no. 5 with $18.5 billion on Forbes Wealth List, just behind Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Microsoft’s Bill Gates still tops that last with $59 billion.
