With an estimated net worth of $17 billion, Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen can afford to buy himself some fancy toys.
But with interests that range from electric guitars to World War II aircraft, Allen takes expensive hobbies to a whole new level.
He also happens to own the Seattle Seahawks, who will be playing for their second consecutive Super Bowl win this weekend.
We've rounded up some of the billionaire's most ridiculous toys, from professional sports teams to submarines.
Sports are a major passion of Allen's — he's a part owner of the Seattle Sounders, and he bought the Portland Trail Blazers in 1988 and the Seattle Seahawks in 1997.

After the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in 2014, Allen threw a massive party that featured live performances from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, as well as a set by Allen himself. After the party, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told the Washington Post: "Paul was hot last night, he was tearing it up — big licks. He had a lot of notable artists with him, too, playing. He’s got a great roster also. They sounded great ... I think Paul picked up the bill, too."

His Seahawks will get another chance at a championship when they head to the Super Bowl this Sunday. "The first time you go you’re kind of amazed to be there," he told the Seattle Times. "The thing is, once you’re in the Super Bowl, you want to win. As time goes on, you want to win more and more." It seems like he's ready for the post-game celebrations — he reportedly had a custom amplifier made just for the occasion, with knobs that go all the way to 12.
