All, slightly OT, Paul Allen's social life...
I doubt he is focusing on tech. investments much these days, since he seems to be spending time on his yacht with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's estranged wife. It was in my newspaper tonight, quoting the Daily Telegraph, so there is a link to the Telegraph's story below.
My paper had a section not in the Telegraph story: "Allen, 45, is way richer than the Rolling Stone - reportedly worth $22 Billion to a few hundred million - plus, like Jagger, has a liking for rock, playing guitar in his own band, The Threads." and also says... she is "vacationing on one of Allen's yachts in the South of France." - must be nice!

That story shows he has LOTS of very non-tech investments/interests, so NETP has some competition on his radar screen...
Here are the last two paragraphs of the article:
"The Richmond home they once shared formed part of Miss Hall's settlement and it has remained her main home. Mr Allen is expected to start spending more time in London. A friend said: "Paul Allen has been spending a lot of time in Britain recently. He has recently received planning permission for a groovy new film studio-cum-hotel-cum-restaurant for rich film stars and influential film types in Covent Garden." There was no comment on the possibility of an affair from the couple's spokesmen.
A spokesman at Miss Hall's modelling agency, Models 1, said: "Miss Hall is on holiday at the moment and there is no way we can comment on that matter." A spokesman for Mr Allen's company, Vulcan, said: "I'm afraid we don't release any personal details about Mr Allen so I won't be able to help you with that." |
