When Markus Persson bought a Beverly Hills mansion in 2014, the sale included eight electric toothbrushes, according to listing agent Branden Williams, as reported by CBS MoneyWatch. Williams said buyers at that level want homes that are ready to move into.
Persson is the Minecraft creator known as Notch. Microsoft bought his company, Mojang, in September 2014 for $2.5 billion, per CBS MoneyWatch. He paid $70 million for the house that December, a Beverly Hills record, according to Curbed, as cited by the outlet. The asking price had been $85 million.
The house sits on a promontory in Trousdale Estates and covers about 23,000 square feet. It has eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a movie theater, an underground garage, and an infinity-edge pool, per CBS MoneyWatch. Developer Bruce Makowsky had finished building it about four months earlier.
It came furnished. The Bentley furniture set alone would retail for about $1 million, the outlet reported, and the place settings were by Roberto Cavalli, with 24-carat gold.
Persson was not the only bidder. Williams declined to confirm reports that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were among them, per CBS MoneyWatch. LatiNation reported that the couple toured the home and later bought an $88 million estate in Bel Air.
Twelve years later, Persson has listed the house at $70 million, the same price he paid, according to Dexerto. Aaron Kirman is the listing agent. The 2026 listing includes a 2,500-bottle wine cellar and a candy room.
Persson also added a private nightclub with a DJ booth, per Dexerto. The home has glass walls with views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific.
“They’re looking for something that sets them apart and cannot easily be replicated,” Kirman said of buyers at this level, as quoted by Dexerto.
Prices around the house have moved, though. The median Los Angeles home value more than doubled over the decade, Dexerto reported, citing the Los Angeles Times, which also reported that the ultra-high-end market has cooled.
The listing came days before Californians were set to vote on a proposed one-time 5% billionaire tax. Kirman told the Wall Street Journal that Persson spends little time in Los Angeles and is committed to selling, per Dexerto.
Another Los Angeles mansion made headlines this year at a very different price. Conrad Hilton’s Bel Air home sold at a foreclosure auction for $130 million.
