He used to throw parties for the staff of Experience Music Project there. I went to several when I was a kid, they usually were themed after certain decades. I remember his 60s party the best. The beach house had an indoor jacuzzi with a mounted television, and several showers that overlooked a small pond area. It's an interesting property, for sure.
Incredible video!! You should do this for Bezos, Schultz, and Gates houses as well because they are all in the area. Fun Fact: Paul Allen also owned the water front property directly to the left (bought in 2016) and 3 other non-waterfront homes in the far right corner (11 total pieces of land acquired over two decades)
I've got some footage for properties of Bezos, Gates, Balmer, Schultz, McCaw, Simonyi, Myhrvold, etc... but have so far decided not to publish it. One flight, 6 billionaires.
Nice video, you have the tennis court and basketball buildings switched tho. The tennis court is to the south and trailblazer themed basketball court to the north and the building you have as guest house 2 & 3 which is just west ( toward the water) of the previous two mentioned building and is actually a library and also served as his mothers house. While working there my favorite time of day was getting a wave or brief word with her. Lovely lady she was and always had time for anyone. All the upper buildings were connected via skybridges or walk ways. All products , materials involved in construction of structures or landscape were of the finest. No expense spared. Lots ofDale Chihully blown glass everywhere from half million $ chandeliers to what look like giant marbles also made from blown glass all around the landscaping.
Do the bottom sensors keep the drone from falling into the water? In the first shot you were flying really close to water. Also nice video. I'm going to subscribe.
Thank you! I am glad you liked the video. Yes. The drone is held steady via (1) barometric altimeter, (2) accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, (3) GPS, (4) downward facing optical sensors and (5) omnidirectional sonar sensors for collision avoidance. The end result of all these sensors is a phenomenally stable flight even in windy conditions.
wondering whats going to happen with all of his homes now but honestly thats nothing, huge lot sure but look at villa maryland on cap ferrat in france, that house was owned by paul allen too and its worth at least 250 million $
No kidding! Here is another video you might like with some glimpses of the houses Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos live in: ruclips.net/video/_qpsj1x_qMY/видео.html

@@BluSTi well I think some of the people I was talking to must be maybe a good bit older than you ... ? Because there were some people saying it was better a long time ago and they didn't make it sound like it always had super wealthy people ... ?

You are forever a co-founder! But yes he no longer worked at Microsoft but he was still a major shareholder at the time of his unfortunate passing. RIP Mr. Paul Allen we lost a great one with you sir.
I miss my Sunday drives in Mercer Island. When I lived in Washington State I would cruise thru almost every weekend.

Thank you! That is really interesting context.

Mercer Islander here from way back...
Can you talk about that and what it was like when you were growing up there and how much it has changed with all these rich people being there now ?
Guest house 2 it's ok for me ;-)
Yes! Very nice indeed!

How long ago was that ... looks like it was a really cool place to live before the Super Rich moved in
@@gardensofthegods I left MI in 1995, parents sold their house in 1997. It's always been home to the super wealthy.
