WHAT THE... No part of this story makes any sense, but we'll tell it to you anyway: back in August, a completely ridiculous spec megamansion hit the market in Beverly Hills asking $85 million—it's outfitted with a candy room, a car showroom, vodka and tequila bars, a 54-foot curved glass door that opens onto the pool, eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, apartment-sized closets, and a movie theater, and even the listing called it "an overwhelming sensory experience"—and somehow it stoked fevered bidding wars. Combatants included Most Important Couple in the World Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and word came earlier this month that they were winning with a $70 million offer. The house has just sold for $70 million ... but to Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson. "Cases of Dom Perignon were part of the deal."

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
Nerds stay winning. Someone find that Bill Gates / Michael Jordan jpg.

If he's going for broke, its a good way of doing it. He could make a killing after he puts it back on the market.

I'm pretty sure I'd donate a lot of it to causes that could help mankind. I don't need a megamansion to be happy, a nice house is perfectly fine.

But to each their own.

On one hand, he'll probably live there forever.

On the other, I could see him staying mostly in a couple of rooms and coding happily away.

Jay-Z was on course to be the first hip-hop billionaire then Dre sold Beats, Notch bought his house and Solange beat him up. what a year.

Why do people care so much about celebrities and their lives? I have no idea about any celebrity relationships or their personal lives and they mean nothing to me. I just don't understand... But I guess that's another thread.

Fuck, wonder what Notch thought his future was going to be like ten years ago.

I bet he never imagined buying a 70 million dollar mansion. Good for him.

I wonder what would be the price of an equivalent "megamansion" located in a less prestigious place. Are we talking about 20% cheaper or 80% cheaper?
