I give up on life have you ever wondered

to yourself how rich notches you know if

the guy who made minecraft which has way

over a hundred million downloads in fact

the word minecraft is actually used more

on Google than the Bible and Justin

Bieber many people even say that

minecraft is considered the Legos of our

generation now obviously this is the

year 2015 and minecraft is owned by

Microsoft but it wasn’t always owned by

Microsoft

it used to be owned by a now billionaire

who goes by the online name of not and

this is the part of the video where I

start throwing out numbers so notch

creates a game and just somehow it

explodes I mean just minecraft became a

huge hit from the beginning and somehow

it managed to get over a hundred million

downloads those 100 million downloads

managed to bring in 700 million dollars

majority of which is profit do you know

how much 700 million dollars is that’s a

ton of money even though he had like 30

employees if you spill you know you

split up 700 million dollars between 30

people

that’s ridiculous even though obviously

not just getting majority of the money

he even said that when he first made the

game investors were willing to throw so

much money at it people were trying to

invest money but minecraft just didn’t

need it it was successful on its own it

had enough cash flow generating on its

own that didn’t need people invest in

the company till one day not releases

this one tweet which leads to the

selling of Minecraft and to someone up

apparently he didn’t expect the game to

get as big as he did I mean no one

really would but he just didn’t like all

the hate he was getting and all the

people that were just you know being

rude like calling him a fat loser and

just things like that and he he never

expected the game to get anywhere near

how big it did and he said he was having

so much fun when there was just a couple

thousand fans and just now it’s gotten

so big and there’s so much hate that he

just didn’t want to do it anymore so now

we have a scenario the owner of one of

the biggest video games ever the owner

of the biggest video game in our

generation the biggest hit online just a

game every kid in his mom plays the

owner no longer wants to own the game so

what happens well I’ll tell you what

happens Microsoft pretty much says hey

we’ll give you 2.5 billion dollars if

you give us minecraft two and a half

billion dollars and I mean who in their

right mind would say no to that two and

a half billion dollars

you pretty much just say yes and you’re

automatically a billionaire and you’ll

never have to work the rest of your life

none of your family will ever have to

work the rest of the life anyone you

ever come across you could just hand out

millions of dollars to you I mean two

and a half billion dollars is a ton of

money so now that I’ve mentioned that

he’s a billionaire this shouldn’t come

as a surprise one of the first things he

did was he bought an eighty five million

dollar mega mansion eighty five million

dollars on a house do you know how much

money that is it’s just ridiculous and

when he was getting interviewed I was

just reading through some of the things

he saw I was saying he got interviewed

by someone and someone said what’s one

of the things you hate the most about

your house and he said it has a built in

gym and he said look at me does it look

like I need a gym anyways guys that’s

pretty much the story of hell not to

became a billionaire I didn’t really

like go in depth at all I was just

trying to explain some of the numbers to

you guys and if you never heard this

story before it’s I’m pretty sure you

found it interesting obviously if you

already knew about knotch and all this

and like you’re a die-hard minecraft fan

none of this was new and this video

probably wasn’t that entertaining to you

but that’s pretty much everything let me

know what you think what you do to get

back
