Also wtf...

Typical Dillon Francis

 

[kurahador]

There's coke in there somewhere. I can sense it!!

 

[RP912]

Smh at the large amount of hate and salt in this thread. It's Notch's money, his party, and his house. Sometimes it's good to splurge and enjoy life instead of following a "blueprint" of life. For all we know Notch always been about that type of life. For some people to keep throwing "MC Hammer" into the mix just because he's living lavishly right now is shameful.

 

[billeh]

Damn, just the land that house is built on was worth $12M back in 2012. Also from the listing video, it looks like a lot of the um .. 'furnishings' were included.

 

[Sou Da]

That money is going to burn fassssssst. I'd get a nice house, but nothing like that and maybe just one nice car.

Also wtf...

The worst.

 

[Grinchy]

I love how clean everything is. I also finally realized that those tall silver pyramid things are some kind of mega space heaters. Awesome.

 

[Neoweee]

All of this because of Minecraft, god damn. Livin' the indie dev life.

I don't know, those pics don't look like crushing poverty.

 

[ukpanik]

It's like looking at screenshots from second life....but tackier.

I don't judge Notch for spending his money, but I don't think he has any taste to speak of. I'd much rather have this place, which Jared Leto just bought for $5 million:

[sikkinixx]

There's no way this won't sound salty but...

Shows money can't buy good taste, just way over the top.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I've discovered I'm being way too snarky in this thread.

He'll make those $70 mil back in interest on the rest of his money pile in no time at all.

Don't you think the posts made by people who have no comprehension of money are adorable?

Screw the professional photos, I want to see more photo booth antics

... he has a logo for the housewarming party?

He invited Anita Sar..sa...

That Anita person.

Cool.

Yup He invited someone you don't like!

 

[nib95]

Nothing wrong with spending his money and enjoying his life. Only thing I hope is that he does lots of philanthropic work, giving back in terms of charity.

Amen. I think notch has disproven the saying "you can make a million dollars without hurting someone, but you can't make a billion"

 

[Grinchy]

The pictures don't do the garage justice when there's shit like this going on in it:

 

[RP912]

It's like a real life rosebud cheat in this picture o_o

I lost it at bumblebee.

Notch is BALLIN!

 

[Popnbake]

That money is going to burn fassssssst. I'd get a nice house, but nothing like that and maybe just one nice car.

Also wtf...

He even gets to host his own candy fueled fetish parties in a big ass mansion?

Notch really made it.

 

[whitehawk]

Look how baller that foosball table. A god damn foosball table lol.

 

[Springy]

Since he made 700 - 2000 million $$$ from the Mojang/Minecraft deal with Microsoft.

Was a thread when he won the "bidding war" for it in december: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=955105

Thanks, I missed that thread. I'm relieved that he didn't choose the decor. I was a little worried about his proclivities when I saw the grotesque gun display cabinets. Guy's gotta take those things out

Spoiler

so he can fit in a few more stripper poles

Who let in the three morons wearing the same god damn shirt?

 

[RP912]

Look how baller that foosball table. A god damn foosball table lol.

chromed out foosball though...

 

[djshauny]

Epic stuff.

Congrats to Notch

 

[Stackboy]

Good for notch. Seems like a decent guy.

 

[RP912]

I'm dying to see his rig. Notch probably got like 4 titans at once o_o

 

[King Cobra]

The money is getting to his head.

A billion dollars tends to do that regardless of how humble you may think you are.

I am happy to see him enjoying his money and living it up, it's always great to see people make it big time like this.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Like this dude on the left. He's in 16 of 'em. Isn't he from Terminator Rise of the Machines?

That's zedd. He makes hit pop songs.

 

[Flynn]

Some pretty bitter people ITT.

Notch is no Gary Whitta.

Big price difference...but damn, look at this shit (the view, plus imagine chilling there):

Insane.

Yeah, living it up makes more sense than working to me.

 

[HellofaMouse]

You know buying a house protects you from inflation to a certain degree if you have alot of cash lying around. Id buy a bigger one if i was him.

 

[HellBlazer]

Among the attendees were [...] Tim Schafer

I hope they discussed Psychonauts 2.

 

[G-Fex]

Yup He invited someone you don't like!

I like Anita.

 

[Ty4on]

Yeah, living it up makes more sense than working to me.

Indeed. And he is sharing it with a lot of people

I know the pressure from Minecraft got to him a lot of times so it's great to see this. With a garage like that I could face anything and still get a grin on my face when I stepped inside.

 

[zoozilla]

I don't think any Hollywood stars are billionaires, so yeah. Billionaire-level is a whole other stratosphere of wealth.

And then Bill Gates has something like 40 times Notch's net worth.

CRAZY.

 

[ref]

That house is fantastic.

I'm still in shock at how successful Minecraft is. I can't get into it, but I know so many people who rave about it.

 

[Anth0ny]

god damn notch

damn

 

[Schryver]

I hope they discussed Psychonauts 2.

lol seriously. has there ever been a game sequel funded by a some rich dude who was a huge fan of the original game?

 

[akira28]

That money is going to burn fassssssst. I'd get a nice house, but nothing like that and maybe just one nice car.

Also wtf...

oh now that's my kind of party.

 

[Maximus.]

Notch lost unless he greeted people like this

Hahahah the best.

 

[tuxfool]

The house has a nice view, but I can't say that the decor is in good taste. I hope that the house was pre-furnished with this stuff. Just look at that montage of guns made out of garbage...

"It’s not about the money. It’s about my sanity."

*Buys giant house in Beverly Hills and throws a celebrity-stuffed party.*

I used to really like him, but now I think he's lost it. Money certainly does that. Le sigh.

What has he lost apparently? I can see a bitter person like you who hates when people get successful, but I'd like your take on what he's lost.

 

[fester]

Is he going to be one of these dudes that we see completely broke in a few years time because he spends it all on outrageous stuff?

Sadly, this is very likely what will happen. There's a reason why people who go from 0 to a billion bucks in 2.5 seconds often lose that money quickly when compared to people who have built wealth over time: they are totally unprepared to manage it.

he looks like he's having a good time, which is probably part of that sanity thing. it's as if people don't like to see people having more fun than them

 

[boeso]

sheit

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

I'm happy for Notch. Too see a indie dev make it like this is just awesome.

 

[Wedge7]

Sick place. Notch ballin it up. Life is good.

 

[Converse]

Big price difference...but damn, look at this shit (the view, plus imagine chilling there):

I know, that's what mean -- I personally think Leto's digs are a lot more tasteful than Notch's, and for $65 million less. The style of Notch's mansion is just not for me; even that room you posted just does nothing for me. It's like a coke dealer's mansion from an '80s action film.

Fairly certain he was a millionaire for years before selling Mojang. Hardly going from 0.

 

[Zafir]

Man. That house. That's like the house you dream about, but will never ever get, ever.

 

[Violet_0]

One thing I always wonder when I see massive houses is: doesn't it get lonely? I mean, it'll be big and empty unless you invite people over all the time. I've never seen any comments about this myself, so I'm curious if I'd be the only one.

there are probably a few security guards and housekeepers around in a house that big
