Résumé

Praise for THE ACCIDENTAL ZILLIONAIRE
"Why is this the first book to be written about Paul Allen, the enigmatic tech wunderkind who has spent much of his adult life high atop the World's Richest Men list? Rich digs deep into Allen's past to offer us a quick-paced, entertaining, and illuminating glimpse into the life of a man who plainly has so much to prove despite his untold riches." –Gary Rivlin, Author, The Plot to Get Bill Gates
"A disquieting look into high-tech's enigma, Paul Allen. Once Laura Rich's tale begins to unfold we are treated to a roller-coaster inventory of odd and interesting facts, from Allen's love affair with Monica Seles to his makeover by David Geffen. Her depiction at first brings to mind The Great Gatsby but quickly and disturbingly evolves into a dark portrait of a lost soul. A must-read."
–John C. Dvorak, Columnist, PC Magazine
