Minecraft Creator Outbids Jay-Z and Beyonce for $70 Million Mansion

  
The dreamhouse is a reality.

Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson has outbid artists Jay-Z and Beyonce to purchase a $70 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Described in the actual listing as "an overwhelming sensory experience," the mansion is made up of eight bedrooms, fifteen bathrooms, a pool, a candy room, a car showroom, and a movie theater, among others.

According to Persson's representatives, $70 million dollars is the highest price ever paid for a home in Beverly Hills. The house has been on the market since August, and Jay-Z and Beyonce were the highest bidders before Persson closed the deal.

Persson acquired a large amount of money from his creation of Minecraft, a popular sandbox building game available on nearly every modern platform. He recently sold the development studio Mojang to Microsoft for $2.5 Billion.To learn more about Minecraft, check out IGN's list of interactive creations made in Minecraft.

In recent Minecraft news, Telltale Games announced today that they will be making Minecraft: Story Mode, an adventure game set in the Minecraft universe.

That's really nice and all but i've always thought people (who have it) expend way too much money on things, i mean even if i was super rich like these guys, to spend $ 70 million on a house, or anything that's only gonna be used by ME, seems like a waste

He has 2.5B...Don't think he cares lol



Now all he has to do is painstakingly recreate it in the game itself

A life lesson for some of you folks: the more money you have, the less you need to spend on hookers.
