The Doyenne of DNA Says: Just Chillax With Your Ex<br />Ms. Wojcicki has a big house near Mr. Brin’s big house in Los Altos — where she<br />also owns a children’s cafe and an arcade — and they see a lot of each other.<br />“I think he plays for the Yankees.”<br />Mr. Specter explained to the woman who had never attended a professional baseball game<br />that her new suitor was one of the 10 best baseball players who ever lived.<br />But six years later, the Silicon Valley fairy tale was shattered by two public humiliations: Mr. Brin got involved with a beautiful<br />young Englishwoman named Amanda Rosenberg, who provided a public face for Google Glass — an attachment that broke up his marriage.<br />Even now that she owns a billion-dollar company, Ms. Wojcicki remains frugal and says repeatedly that she does not like “froufrou things.”<br />“Fancy cars and houses and the right dress,” she says dismissively.
