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.

DAAAAAANG.

I dunno, me i'd at least live off the Bank accounts interest.

Funny stuff really.  Development studios going bankrupt left and right.  THQ looking to be a big tree about to fall....

Yet here a 1 man development team is able to rake in that kind of cash.

An outlier for sure but still... more and more i feel like blockbuster Triple A development studios and companies built around them just aren't supposed to exist.

 

Things ranging instead from indy 1-man stuff like minecraft to your more modes 4-5 million development budgets.
