I wish he actually went through with funding Psychonauts 2.

Now that would be a worthy use of money. Notch pls.

Also as nice as the house is, I just can't help but hate the openness of it. Maybe I'm just unreasonably paranoid though.

 

[bananafactory]

Seems unnecessary to me but I'm not going to talk about spending money responsibly.

I'd probably make some dumb decisions too if I suddenly had a shitload of cash.

Good for Notch

 

[QuiteWhittle]

I'm pretty sure I'd donate a lot of it to causes that could help mankind.

A few people do just that while living in huge mansions.

 

[Chuck]

huge empty house in a shit hole of a city

money. well. spent.

 

[Messofanego]

Nerds stay winning. Someone find that Bill Gates / Michael Jordan jpg.

Bill Gates can vault over a chair, can Notch beat that?

Beast home. Looks kind of lonely though. I'd have to have people over constantly in order to not go insane.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I like how they have all those photos and not one of the weight room, which is the one I'd be the most interested in. You can only see it a bit in the back here:

Anyways, grats I guess? Looks like a store interior and not a comfy living space, but what do I know?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Looks like a minecraft home.. Even the foliage. If he doesn't have security guards dressed as creepers, I will be disappointed.

 

[old manatee]

That's the fedora of houses.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Damn, I guess that means Jay-Z has 100 problems now.

I cannot believe I'm still seeing this joke at the turn of 2015

 

[a secret-boss]

huge empty house in a shit hole of a city

money. well. spent.

my fries need more salt

 

[CaptainSlow]

Looks like Devin Weston's house in GTAV.

 

[thewhitehawk]

Notch got closer to Beyonce's bed than any of us ever will.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Looks like the kind of place models get murdered at sex parties.

 

[coolasj19]

He probably has no idea what to do with that much money. I just hope he doesn't make a strong of bad of decisions that makes him go broke in a couple of years.

 

[Ermac]

 

[loaf of bread]

"disgusting"? Really? He can do whatever the fuck he wants with his money. Good to know that apparently its pointless to win the lottery or become rich since you're apparently not allowed to spend it and have to give it all away to charity. Please.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I always wonder how much security you need to be able to say "OK, I can leave these sofas outside all the time"

 

[Nabbis]

People talking about donations like it's a magic cure or something productive for other people... You would be far better of creating a legitimate non exploitative business in the areas that might need more wealth, you can actually build infrastructure and might leave a legacy of something lasting.

 

[Hjod]

Good for Notch, but I'm so jealous, I want that house.

 

[SummitAve]

Pool looks nice, that's about it.

 

[test_account]

Wow, that really sold at that price? I saw a report on this house on TV not long ago.

 

[Palculator]

And Bill Gates is a better person, too!

 

[Wereroku]

Selling Minecraft was totally about his sanity folks. Had nothing to do with the money.

 

[jnWake]

I can't be the only one that read Mega Man there...

;_;

 

[yatesl]

Notch is getting his.

Go out and party, son. You've made it.

 

[woopWOOP]

Hey, since you only live once might aswel live hella large.

 

[Kasper]

I can't say I wouldn't do something similar if I had that much money. Though I would probably prefer something in a place that's not as warm, like a penthouse in New York perhaps.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

He should've just built his own.

 

[Qblivion]

The art and furniture are pretty tacky.

 

[Schryver]

Grats Markus

 

[Liha]

gratz, well deserved

 

[JumpJeff84]

Why does the story say 'no part of this story makes sense'?

Really? A story about people that everyone knows are extremely wealthy bidding on an opulent mansion in Los Angeles?

THIS IS SO CRAZY IT MAKES NO SENSE

 

[Wil348]

Damn, I guess that means Jay-Z has 100 problems now.

...but a bitch still ain't one.

 

[bishoptl]

Notch stay winning. Good for him.

 

[Fried Food]

mind boggling

 

[DSN2K]

I'd have refurbished. House it self is quite amazing mind.

 

[vypek]

Good for him. I wonder if he's gonna have a bunch of people stay there too. I cant imagine living in a place with so many bedroom/bathroom/space and it not being used regularly. Cant even imagine buying a place like that even if I could afford it

 

[PAULINK]

god damn, that much money for a house, I imagine he's really financially endowed to be slinging that kind of cash.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Doesn't look safe from creepers!

Spoiler

just joking

That's like nothing for the dude, good for him.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Has the mansion been recreated in MC yet?

 

[OverBlood 3]

Shame it's in Beverly Hills.

 

[wenis]

sweet.

 

[RoKKeR]

Unreal. The story of Notch is amazing.

 

[JumpJeff84]

god damn, that much money for a house, I imagine he's really financially endowed to be slinging that kind of cash.

Well yeah, just this summer he sold Minecraft for a billion dollars.

A billion dollars.

 

[Tenki]

I wish I had $2B to buy me some nice things

 

[HK-47]

Good for him. I wonder if he's gonna have a bunch of people stay there too. I cant imagine living in a place with so many bedroom/bathroom/space and it not being used regularly. Cant even imagine buying a place like that even if I could afford it

You cant imagine rich people buying property they rarely use? Well ok then...

 

[DeadlyParasite]

Crazy to think that all this started from a simple game design/concept that spread from word of mouth.

Also impressed he got all the money from Microsoft so fast. "Yo, here's a simple 2 and a half billion."

Kudos.

 

[vagabondarts]

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?

50% cheaper is my guess

 

[Azure J]

karma for that last album

OK, the last 5 years of music

MCHG was that bad?

Damn.
