Well here’s a success story. Markus “Notch” Persson, creator of the insanely successful world-building game Minecraft, had a huge pile of cash burning a hole in his pocket after selling his company to Microsoft for $2 billion.

So what does he do? What we would all do! He outbid power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z to buy a Beverly Hills property for $70 million, making it one of the priciest homes in the country and a standout even for Beverly Hills.
