Just... how much did this guy make off of Minecraft anyway? That he can throw around millions like that?

I mean... I woulda thought he would of made a million or two sure... but enough that he can throw a couple million around?!

According to the website, about 4.9m people have brought minecraft, even if counting it as £10 a pop(That was the price of it in Alpha) but taking taxes etc into account, that's still an impressive sum.

He must be sitting on at least 20-30 probably, but as he said before, the money just goes into the account, and he lives on his normal salary or something, pretty cool guy.

A better way of looking at it would be they have sold over 8,000 copies in that last 24hours @ 20 EUR a pop which is 160,000 EUR of before tax revenue which means ~ 1 million EUR a week before tax. Corperate Tax rate in Sweden is 26.3% which means after tax the income Mojang make on Minecraft is ~750,000 EUR a week (I think the customers pay the VAT but I can't remember if not take off another 25%).
