At the age of 65, Paul Allen died. The multimillionaire was co-founder of Microsoft, and his fortune of $ 21, 300, 000, 000 by Forbes calculations ran it under No. 21 in the list of wealthy people in the world. Allen announced on October 1 that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma, a disease that he had already struggled in 2009. His doctors gave him good prospects of healing, but only two weeks later his earthly path was over.
Alan`s death, the owner of both Seattle Siehoughs and the Portland Trail Blazers basketball, poses a big question mark over the future of his capital. The businessman has never married and has no children. The legal successor would be his sister Jody, but in view of heritage taxes, it is unclear whether the two teams will remain family property. Moreover, alan Allen has repeatedly declared his desire that the vast majority of his capital be distributed to charities.
Alan buys Seattle in 1996 for the sum of $ 200, 000, 000 and thwarts their relocation to Anaheim. As owner, he saw the sea hawks participating in three Super Bowls, and in 2014 the first and only title in their history was won.
