Paul Allen | $20.3 billion (DECEASED)

One could say that Paul Allen played a role in today’s technological boom. He was a widely successful American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. Allen was best known as a co-founder of Microsoft together with his childhood buddy Bill Gates back in 1975. Gates and Allen were some of the brilliant minds that led the microcomputer revolution back in the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. Throughout his successful businesses and investments, he was able to accumulate a fortune of $20.3 billion at the time of his passing.

When you’d talk about the luxuries in life, the billionaire tech magnate had it all. He had countless properties, real estate ownerships, yachts, basically the entire package. Allen also owned several sports teams. Known to be quite the sports fan, he purchased the Seattle Seahawks in 1997 and owned the Portland Trailblazers and the Seattle Sounders Football Club.
