AdvertisementA luxurious estate with a cinema, swimming pool and a spa in California owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has gone up for sale for $41.488million. Allen, who died last year aged 65, helped build Microsoft alongside Bill Gates and left behind a vast fortune of $26billion in real estate, sports teams, super-yachts, charitable organisations and art collections. Proving Allen had opulent taste, other rooms show stylish marble fireplaces, whitewashed walls, sleek surfaces and tasteful color schemes. Allen struck gold when he founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, his childhood friend who he convinced to drop out of Harvard to start the company. Allen had a net worth of approximately $20.3 billion and a real estate portfolio that is worth well over one-billion dollars.
