Allen & Company LLC
Overview
For Allen & Company, there's no business like financing show business. The investment bank serves variously as investor, underwriter, and broker to some of the biggest names in entertainment, technology, and information. Viewed as something of a secret society, the firm has had a quiet hand in such hookups as Seagram (now part of Vivendi) and Universal Studios, Hasbro and Galoob Toys, and Disney and Capital Cities/ABC. The firm's famous annual retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho, attracts more moguls than a double-black ski run (Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman have attended). Brothers Herbert and Charles Allen founded the company in 1922.
