Notch (Minecraft creator) has emotional breakdown to the Minecraft sell, ex-employees, life, etc. on Twitter

Some people here amaze me by their ignorance. He's just a human even though he has a lot of money, and he got that money by getting lucky, pretty much. Sure, he has the ability to improve his situation, but he seems like he doesn't know how to. He's lost and doesn't know the way out. If you don't know the way, it's very hard to do anything. And if he does know the way, well, it seems he's not capable of taking that road just yet. Either way, he's screwed for the moment, and doesn't deserve the hate he gets.

He sold Mojang because it became too big and he couldn't take it anymore. It was the only escape he saw, but it sure doesn't seem like it was what he wanted in the first place. Yes, you can't buy happiness with money. He's just a regular person who ended up getting a ton of money practically by chance.

At least that's how I see it.
