Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson has listed his Beverly Hills mansion for $70 million, the same amount he paid in 2014. Multiple outlets say the property spans about 22,300 square feet and includes amenities such as multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, plus entertainment-focused features like a private nightclub and recording studio.
Several reports note that Persson bought the home in 2014 by outbidding Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Some coverage also includes Persson’s broader context in gaming, mentioning his 2014 sale of Minecraft to Microsoft for $2.5 billion and the controversies associated with him, including how Microsoft and Mojang framed their stance on his views. Los Angeles Times adds that the luxury market has cooled in recent years.
Other outlets emphasize a personal reason for the sale, saying Persson spends less time in Los Angeles now. The listings also describe the mansion’s location in or near “Billionaire’s Row,” and some reports highlight that Persson’s move comes amid broader California debates, including a proposed one-time wealth tax on billionaires.
