Co-founder of Microsoft Paul Allen led a life of luxury, owned a yacht costing $205m and was third richest in the world, but what he always hoped for was a wife and children.
When he released his memoirs seven years ago Allen said in a rare interview “I’m still optimistic. I still believe I’m going to meet somebody. I want to have a family.”
He died having never married and without an heir.
