Minecraft creator drops $70m on Beverly Hills’ most expensive house

MCV Staff 19th December 2014 Business News

Notch – the man behind indie juggarnaut Minecraft – has purchased the most expensive house ever in Beverly Hills.

35-year-old Markus ‘Notch’ Persson dropped $70 million on the mansion, which includes a 54-foot glass door (that opens automatically), infinity pool, multiple bars, screening room and water fountains controlled via iPad.

As well as this, eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and several cases of Dom Perignon are included.

The property is found in the Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills, and stretches over 23,000 square feet of land.

Notch closed the deal for the house in just six days – a time residental brokerage John Aaroe Group described as ‘lightning fast’.

Following his move into the house, Notch tweeted a picture of himself in the so-called ‘candy room’ (see below), before replying to another tweet by saying the experience was "so weird".

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

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
