    About Paul Allen? Did you try googling him? There is loads of info about him. While Dollar Bill was the business and marketing genius behind Microsoft, Paul was more the silent partner. I'm not sure if they were equal partners as co founders, but I believe Paul still holds stock in Microsoft.

    Hello Lee:

    Paul Allen owns the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trailblazers. He also invested in spaceship #1, where he won a prize for getting to outter space - twice in a prive rocket ship. He also owns Vulcan Real Estate which owns darn near a quarter of downtown Seattle. I also think he has a few shares of Microsoft stock.
