Comments on: How much is Paul Allen worth? http://gigaom.com/2004/02/29/how-much-is-paul-allen-worth/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:46:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Andy Abramson http://gigaom.com/2004/02/29/how-much-is-paul-allen-worth/#comment-96477 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://gigaom.wordpress.com/2004/02/29/how-much-is-paul-allen-worth/#comment-96477 On our daily broadcast, “The World Technology RoundUp” streamed from http://www.kenradio.com, we’ve been calling Paul Allen “Dr. Netvorkian” for a few years. Why? He seems to be the “kiss of death” for many companies. I mean, think about it. He funded the Jimi Hendrix Museum in Seattle. While I admire his civic mindedness which comes with wealth, this is a person who invests in dead guys. Wonder why those companies all have trouble…

Allen’s vision far surpasses his ability to manage and implement.

His last smart move was hooking up with Bill Gates. His next best move was leaving Microsoft–but not for his sake, for Bill’s and all who were a part of the growth.

Just my opinion!
