Allen has also pumped money into plenty of Internet content and commerce providers. Vulcan owns stakes in Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN), Beyond.com (Nasdaq: BYND), Egghead.com (Nasdaq: EGGS), Value America (Nasdaq: VUSA), CNet (Nasdaq: CNET), Net Perceptions (Nasdaq: NETP), Liquid Audio, and Hollywood Entertainment (Nasdaq: HLYW), by way of his earlier investment in Reel.com. He's put $40 million into drugstore.com and $56 million into Ziff-Davis' (NYSE: ZD) ZDTV. And Vulcan recently finalized a $100 million investment in Oxygen Media, a much-discussed women's online network and cable TV venture backed partly by Oprah Winfrey. According to Reuters, that will give Allen a 7% stake in Oxygen. Allen also owns a quarter of Dreamworks SKG, the Spielberg-Katzenberg-Geffen film studio, and nearly 16 million shares of Barry Diller's USA Networks (Nasdaq: USAI), which also controls the Home Shopping Network and Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch (Nasdaq: TMCS).
