Minecraft creator Notch moves on up — into the $70M megamansion that Jay-Z and Beyonce wanted

When you sell your life’s work for billions of dollars to Microsoft, you can only really celebrate one way: by getting in a bidding war for a huge mansion with music-industry royalty.

Markus “Notch” Persson, who made his fortune by creating block-building blockbuster Minecraft, is paying $70 million for a new home in Beverly Hills, Calif., according to realty website Curbed. The mansion features eight bedrooms (each with a $5,000 toilet), a movie theater, apartment-sized closets, and … a candy room (no word on whether Persson will hire Oompa Loompas to maintain his new home). This is the highest price ever paid for a home in Beverly Hills — and Notch had to outbid Jay-Z and Beyonce to nab it.
