The Wildcatters Network is saddened to learn of the passing of Paul Allen, one of the world’s top Wildcatters. Mr. Allen co-founded Microsoft in 1975 with Bill Gates. He left the company in the 80s and turned his small fortune into a massive one. In addition to being a savvy businessman who accomplished great things in many different business sectors, he also pursued his hobbies with a great passion. Paul Allen owned multiple sports teams, had an award-winning filmmaking company, hunted for treasure, played guitar in a band that had a major label released, and had a massive art collection. He was a true wildcatter that will be missed. Check out our article on the differences between a Wildcatter and a Businessman, which features Paul Allen.
