Yea interesting ... I wonder if Allen counts as part of the sorta slightly psychopathic billionaire class? Obviously a billionaire, but not quite a Musk or Bezos maybe? Dunno. But interesting ... didn't know he played guitar well.

Nah, nowhere near as bad as the psycho billionaires. Doesn't seem to actually have much controversy at all, other than spending a fortune on yachts and using them for celebrity parties.

Outside of that, he seemed to be pretty reclusive and contributed a lot of funding to the arts, conservation, and scientific research.

I think him being a musician did actually impact things positively. Maybe the knowledge that art can bring people together helped, I don't know. Then again, I don't know what he was like in person, but he seems relatively "normal" for a billionaire.

Not the level of Chuck Feeney, but still okay.
