Paul Allen

Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates. When the first computer came out they had a code that they wanted to propose to the company that made the computer. They would write a piece of code that would send it to the next level. The company said yes if they could bring them the code in person. They spent the next few weeks creating and preparing the code but with not computer to test it on it was all or bust. Then Bill and Paul decided to send Paul only because Gates looked like a thirteen year old. When Paul arrived everything worked. Soon the next computer was born, and it was in high demand and was in every household. Bill was demanding more share of the company but he already owned over 60% of it and both Paul and Gates would not back down. They would have arguments that would last for hours and they would be screaming the whole time. On of the key things that separated him from gates was that he was not focused on one thing he had many interest. By the time Paul left Microsoft he was already worth over 40 billion dollars he had invested in many things, but ultimately like Gates he wants most of it to go to charity.
