A Reverse Midas Touch

摘要

Paul allen throws great parties. At least once a year, the cofounder of Microsoft and fourth wealthiest citizen on the planet―with a fortune that Forbes estimates at $21 billion―invites friends, family and luminaries of entertainment and technology to one of his several multimillion-dollar yachts. While cruising to destinations like Bali and Baja, guests are treated to Allen holding his own on guitar with famous musicians he's invited, like Peter Gabriel. One song that Allen wrote himself, called "Time Bomb," features this refrain: "Everything I do may seem wrong, but my heart, my heart beats strong."
