Trying to find the comment I saw about it back when the thing about him buying the house first came up. Don't even remember if it had a number, just that what he paid was more than the house was valued at.
But now that I think about it the house came with all that other stuff so maybe when you include it all it evens out some.
Anyway, I think people were reading way too much into my comment. I didn't say "Notch is clearly depressed! Look at him!" I suggested the idea in response to a comment about the money getting to his head because it happens to people that come into a lot of money, they spend it frivolously trying to be happy, and end up feeling worse for it. There's as much or more chance that isn't the case here though.
He stopped working on Minecraft years ago.

That house is kinda ugly though in comparison to other high end homes but I'd still live in it over mine for sure lol

I just find it funny he done things he said he was completely against on Twitter.
I am glad he found success. I am not salty if I make jokes about him.
Well, he certainly did beat the odds of lotteries. I wonder how many people sold their one product for a few billion dollars.

Girls famous when they were teeny boppers on Nick/Disney or something, but not anymore.
Who they?
Yeah, I don't think people realize just how much money a billion dollars is. In a crazy conservative fund earning 3%, he would get 30 MILLION a year in interest from doing absolutely nothing.

Second certified NaCl in the thread. First was chaosblade's.

A film called Salt?
Well, he probably used C++ as the programming language. I thought you meant if he used a game engine which I don't think he did.
No, I don't think either of those women were ever on Nick/Disney. I don't recognize them.
Seriously someone call Mrs. Pepper to come pick up her husband from this thread.
Why would you invite terrible teen popstars if you have money?
I agree the house is tacky, but money doesnt buy good taste.

The house doesn't really look an actual home, more like an hotel slash gallery of tacky things, but that view though. I'd just chill around that pool the whole day.
Because I like their music, they aren't "teen", and they are all very attractive young ladies.

Come on guys, Notch always donated big money on kickstarter projects and charity gaming events. It's not like he is purely headed to make money.
The funny part is that he is a billionaire now because people annoyed him.
Didn't he was just tired of all that status he got after his huge success?

Yes, that's me on the left.
Photography was banned at the party, aside from me. I pretty much just hung out with the people I work with on the music side (Zedd, Selena, Martin Garrix, Kill The Noise, 12th Planet, Dillon Francis, etc..). I don't know any people from the huge developer side invited, aside from Rob Pardo.
See above.
Please do, i'd love to make tons of money off of you. The same people that make Notch's GDC parties made this event, and invite the same people. So pretty much 80%+ are all game developers or game industry people, the rest are usually DJs/musicians.
Just a side note, all the photos were taken with a Canon G7X so if you notice it's not DSLR quality, I didn't want to be "that guy" with a giant ass camera roaming around

Good man. He earned that cash through hard work and creativity.
I think its awesome to see him enjoying the rewards for his success.

lol.
What's with this thread and everyone like it? You can live in a mansion and still be humble. You don't have to live in the slums to be "real". You can throw a housewarming party and not be on the verge of collapse. Lets at least wait for the day the guy starts bathing in Cristal, calling other people "poors", and generally being a dick to start assassinating his character. Shall we?

Why not?
Nah, Minecraft is all Java - the smartphone/iOS ports are C++ though. You're right in that it doesn't use a game engine.

I hadn't been keeping up on Minecraft news but after seeing people say he could afford 10 or 30 of those massive houses, I had to check out his net worth. I thought a while ago he was a millionaire, worth maybe 100 million and I find out he's well into being a billionaire because Microsoft has bought his game.
Absolutely crazy to think he's this rich from a Java game. This is not a common occurrence though by any stretch.
I saw him on a talk show about a year ago and he seemed like a pretty typical quiet and not so sociable guy that I'd expect an independent game developer to be.
Now this is where he is.

He didn't invite Selena, she was Zedd's +1.

lol those were my exact 2 thoughts when seeing that picture
On a side note, some of you are sickeningly jealous.
Java programs are programmed in Java. Java is compiled into Java Bytecode which can then be read by the Java Virtual Machine. The advantage of the JVM/Bytecode is that it further abstracts the OS/Hardware from the code so that you don't need to re-write / re-compile your code for every OS / architecture. By developing in Java, he was effectively writing the Window, Mac, and Linux versions of Minecraft at the same time, if that makes sense.
See above. Your Java knowledge isn't wasted.
Meh, fuck em. They gave him the money.
Doh! For a moment I forgot that Java itself IS a programming language. A very C++ like language but still a different language. Yeah, he definitely wrote the whole thing in Java by hand.

Stupid question but is Notch single?
Attention Markus: money can't buy love

Rukes website can't handle the traffic, it stumbles between down and very slow.
AFAIK: He was married (after Minecraft blew up), but is now divorced. The marriage didn't last long.

this is true, Linux development is pretty much dead these days
red hat, centos, ubuntu, all are done
nothing but OSX and Windows these days
Oh wow I didn't know he got divorced, that puts shit in a whole new light.
They're going to milk the shit out of Minecraft so I doubt they care at all.

Thank you captain obvious. It's on a pretty big VPS server in LA, so it's doing as good as it can without me spending hundreds of dollars more haha. Luckily if you keep reloading it pops up pretty quick.
