Markus persson sold his videogame company, Mojang, to Microsoft for $2.5 billion last September-a sale spurred by the enormous popularity of Minecraft, Mojang's building-block adventure game. Persson, 35, a Swede known universally among gamers as "Notch," put some of that haul into a new place in December-no assembly required. The 23,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, built on spec, has a movie theater, 8 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, place settings by Roberto Cavalli and a car showroom. (A scarily accurate depiction of how it would look in Persson's game is shown above.) It's the priciest home ever sold in Beverly Hills. Among the bidders were Jay Z and Beyonce, whose $70 million offer Persson matched, with one key sweetener: He agreed to pay cash. John Aaroe Group, the luxury broker that repped Persson, noted afterward that "cases of Dom Perignon were part of the deal." Jay Z recently acquired the Armand de Brignac champagne brand; that little detail must have really burst his bubble.

机译：去年9月，马库斯·佩尔森（Markus Persson）以25亿美元的价格将他的视频游戏公司Mojang卖给了微软，这是由于Mojang的构建基冒险游戏Minecraft广受欢迎而引起的。现年35岁的佩尔森是瑞典人，在游戏玩家中普遍称为“刻痕”，他在12月将其中的一部分转移到了一个新的地方，无需组装。比佛利山庄（Beverly Hills）这座占地23,000平方英尺的豪宅，是按规格建造的，设有电影院，8间卧室，15间浴室，Roberto Cavalli的场所和一个汽车展示厅。 （上面显示了它在Persson游戏中的样子的精确描述。）这是比佛利山庄出售过的最昂贵的房屋。投标者中有Jay Z和Beyonce，他们以7,000万美元的Persson出价与一个主要的甜味剂匹配：他同意支付现金。代表佩尔森（Persson）的奢侈品经纪人约翰·阿鲁（John Aaroe Group）随后指出，“唐培里侬案是交易的一部分。” Jay Z最近收购了Armand de Brignac香槟品牌；那个小细节一定真的破灭了他的泡沫。
