Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson has spent $70 million on a mansion in Beverly Hills. That is the most expensive house ever sold in Beverly Hills.

The property is 23,000 square feet in size and features eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and a candy room. There is also a infinity pool, bars, screening room, water fountains, and a 54 foot long glass door.

"All of this is so weird," said Notch. "I feel so lucky and out of my element, but I thought I should give it a shot."

Notch tweeted a picture of himself in the candy room.

Well deserved. Notch proved that small guys can make big things. Minecraft has changed gaming and it was created by this one man.

This guy earned way to much money for stealing ideas. Be it infiniy miner. Lego or stealing his own communities ideas. He didnt even deliver everything he promised.

Thast the perfect example of someone not deserving the money he earned...

Sounds like someone is either jealous or hates Minecraft.

I'd say it's in the difinition on the word 'earned' that you deserve something. Whether he really earned all that money is a different discussion though.

I am neither jealous nor do I hate minecraft. (Btw I heard some people ask "why you think so?" before they jump to conclusions.)

I love minecraft I just hate Notch its as easy as that.

To me it "sounds" more like there is 5+ butthurt people that cant accept that someone else has a different opinion. 5+ People that cant read since I never said the game is shit which it isnt its good. But I guess people cant distinguish between a person and a product.

These people also think that a downvote means anything to me :)
(and NO just talking about does not mean I care about it. It means I noticed and laugh about it xD)
