    A real entrepreneur. One of his last endeavors was to give away half of his money to charities and non-profits. He wanted
    to be known as a giving man like Bill Gates.

    We'll see if the heirs of his estate follow through or fight it.

    This isn't written to be flippant, but as a reminder to focus on what really matters.

    Two men were talking at a grave sight of the an extremely rich man, assets so large nobody knew for sure what he was worth
    at the time of his death.
    One man said to other, how much do YOU think he left behind?
    The other man replied in an instant , " All of it!".

    Sorry for the loss to his family. No matter how wealthy you are you, can't take it with you. Money can't buy health. Without your health, you have no wealth.

    Paul Allen’s pre-Microsoft resume from 1974—when he aspired to make $15K a year—as displayed at his own wonderful Living Computers museum.

    Such a bummer. He did so much for Seattle that it will be hard to quantify what's been lost until after a while of him being gone. So sad...
