Microsoft Co-founder Sells Company He Started To âHelp Him In His Own Songwritingâ

,----[ Quote ]
| But the main caveat is that the company 
| was started by Allen, of course. The man 
| lost a cool $5.5 billion the past year 
| according to Forbes, about one third of 
| his net worth as estimated in 2008, so 
| maybe heâs simply offloading some of his 
| assets to make up for it. No word on if 
| the Submersible software ever actually 
| helped him become a better songwriter, 
| unfortunately, but weâre digging for 
| more information.
