Web Desk: Co-founder of Microsoft and philanthropist Paul Allen has died at the age of 65, reported Metro.
Earlier, Mr Allen said the cancer he was treated for in 2009, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, has returned.
Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft with his childhood friend Bill Gates. The two friends dropped college to pursue the future they envisioned: A world with a computer in every home.
He was also a philanthropy and gave more than two billion dollars to a wide range of interest, including ocean health, homelessness and advancing scientific research.
The Microsoft story began when Mr Allen persuaded school-friend Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard. Allen left Microsoft in 1983, before the company became a corporate juggernaut, following a dispute with Gates.
Allen was on the list of America’s wealthiest people who gave away the bulk of their fortunes to charity. ‘Those fortunate to achieve great wealth should put it to work for the good of humanity,’ he once said.
