Markus Persson might not be famous among general public but almost everyone knows the online game he created – Minecraft. When he sold his company Mojang to Microsoft, Persson was suddenly $1.5 billion richer. That’s also approximately his current net worth in 2015. He didn’t do so far very good job in spending it all, did he?

Markus was programming since he was only seven years old. This personal passion later proves vital for his stellar wealth. He was completely unknown until 2011 when he released Minecraft. The game was an instant success. Mojang company sold million copies of the game in the matter of months. It’s understandable why Microsoft was so interested in buying it. The game is now a valuable franchise. You can even buy plush Minecraft toys….they are kind of boxy of course :).

And how did Persson enjoyed his incredible net worth so far? Well, his probably largest shopping spree ended with the buy of $70 million mansion in Beverly Hills, California. He literally snatch this offer from Beyonce and Jay Z who wanted this luxury home as well! The amazing residence residence has 23,000 square feet ad even a car-lift. The location is also very exclusive. Markus still stands before tough decision….how to spend the rest of his fortune.
