OVER the years, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has built a tech empire.
When she is not in the office, she can often be found at home, spending time with her husband, Dennis Troper.
Who is Susan Wojcicki's husband, Dennis Troper?

Is Susan Wojcicki stepping down as YouTube CEO?
Wojcicki joined the YouTube family in 2014 as CEO after a successful career at Google but will soon be walking away.
On February 16, 2023, she announced that she would be stepping down to "start a new chapter focused on my family, health, and personal projects."
“Over the years, I’ve worn many hats and done so many things: managed marketing, co-created Google Image Search, led Google’s first Video and Book search, as well as early parts of AdSense’s creation, worked on the YouTube and DoubleClick acquisitions, served as SVP of Ads, and for the last nine years, the CEO of YouTube,” she in a statement.

"I took on each challenge that came my way because it had a mission that benefited so many people’s lives around the world: finding information, telling stories and supporting creators, artists, and small businesses. I’m so proud of everything we’ve achieved. It’s been exhilarating, meaningful, and all-consuming.
"Today, after nearly 25 years here, I’ve decided to step back from my role as the head of YouTube and start a new chapter focused on my family, health, and personal projects I'm passionate about," she added.
"The time is right for me, and I feel able to do this because we have an incredible leadership team in place at YouTube."
While she might be walking away as CEO, she notes that she will continue to be involved with the company by working with YouTube teams, coaching team members, and meeting with creators.
Wojcicki will be replaced by chief product officer Neal Mohan.
Do Susan and Dennis have kids?
While Wojcicki and Troper might have high-profile careers, that has not stopped them from starting a family.
Since tying the knot, the pair have welcomed five kids.
While the Troper kids might stay out of the spotlight, Wojcicki has opened up about motherhood several times over the years.
"People assume it's hard to have a child with the job I have, but my energy level is high," she said prior to the birth of her fifth child in 2014, via USA Today.
"I also have a lot of resources at home and at work, not to mention the skills to run a big organization.
"My situation isn't that hard. I just think it's really good I didn't give up when I was on baby No. 2. I won't say it was easy, but I decided I'd make it work because I really believed in Google's potential.

"When you're a junior-level woman and get pregnant, people always ask if you'll quit. But no one asks me that now."
At this time, details of Wojcicki's kids' personal lives are unclear.
