In March 2018, he was estimated to be the 44th-wealthiest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $21.7 billion. Allen was the founder and Chairman of Vulcan, which managed his various business and philanthropic efforts. He had a multibillion-dollar investment portfolio including technology and media companies, scientific research, real estate holdings, private spaceflight ventures, and stakes in other sectors. He owned two professional sports teams: the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League and the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association, and was part-owner of the Seattle Sounders FC, which joined Major League Soccer in 2009.

I miss my Sunday drives in Mercer Island. When I lived in Washington State I would cruise thru almost every weekend.
He used to throw parties for the staff of Experience Music Project there. I went to several when I was a kid, they usually were themed after certain decades. I remember his 60s party the best. The beach house had an indoor jacuzzi with a mounted television, and several showers that overlooked a small pond area. It's an interesting property, for sure.
Thank you! That is really interesting context.
Incredible video!! You should do this for Bezos, Schultz, and Gates houses as well because they are all in the area.
Fun Fact: Paul Allen also owned the water front property directly to the left (bought in 2016) and 3 other non-waterfront homes in the far right corner (11 total pieces of land acquired over two decades)
Thanks for the kind words and the additional bits of information Marcus. Very interesting factoids!
I've got some footage for properties of Bezos, Gates, Balmer, Schultz, McCaw, Simonyi, Myhrvold, etc... but have so far decided not to publish it. One flight, 6 billionaires.
Good job.......subbed
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
Do the bottom sensors keep the drone from falling into the water? In the first shot you were flying really close to water.
Also nice video. I'm going to subscribe.
Thank you! I am glad you liked the video. Yes. The drone is held steady via (1) barometric altimeter, (2) accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, (3) GPS, (4) downward facing optical sensors and (5) omnidirectional sonar sensors for collision avoidance. The end result of all these sensors is a phenomenally stable flight even in windy conditions.
amazing video
Thank you! Glad you liked the video! Here is a video with some glimpses of the houses Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos live in: czcams.com/video/_qpsj1x_qMY/video.html

F- your question,@@jacksonbarker9343.

I think he is ex employee paul allen
I lived next door.
How long ago was that ... looks like it was a really cool place to live before the Super Rich moved in
@@gardensofthegods I left MI in 1995, parents sold their house in 1997. It's always been home to the super wealthy.
@@BluSTi well I think some of the people I was talking to must be maybe a good bit older than you ... ?
Because there were some people saying it was better a long time ago and they didn't make it sound like it always had super wealthy people ... ?
Let's see Paul Allen's property
Haha. That's what this video showcased! Here is another video you might like with some glimpses of the houses Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos live in: czcams.com/video/_qpsj1x_qMY/video.html
@@DavidWetzel it's a American psycho reference
@@butterdoge1575 Ahhh…right! There is a character who’s name is Paul Allen in the movie. Funny coincidence! :)

Paul Allen is deceased! He passed away before this footage was recorded.
