The tech giant announced in a press release that it had created a new public holding company called Alphabet, which is now the parent company of all of its businesses.

The new Google, which consists of search, ads, maps, apps, Android, Chrome and YouTube, is a subsidiary under Alphabet. Google Ventures and Google Capital will also be managed separately.

Even Google's top secret lab Google X, which develops futuristic technologies like its driverless car project, will be managed independently.

Here's a look at the wild businesses and projects that started under Google, but will now be run as their own operation.
