Paul Allen’s Octopus Yacht |$326 million

Paul Allen is an investor and entrepreneur famous for being one of the co-founders of Microsoft, along with Bill Gates. He is a magnate, visionary, and philanthropist with many admirable contributions to charity foundations. As one of the original brains behind the Microsoft creation, he is a highly respected figure in the technology industry. Besides Microsoft, Allen has made financial investments in many diverse fields.

He has invested in reputable companies such as America Online, SureFind, Teluscan, Starwave, and his most recent investment of over $2 billion in the RCN Corporation has given him a total holding of over $25 billion in the cable and internet industry. It’s no surprise that because of Allen’sintellect and marketing talents, a purchase of a $326 million 414-foot yacht is nothing. The breathtaking seafaring mammoth is amply named the Octopus and features a two-dozen guest capacity with several amenities that would put even bigger yachts to shame.
