Which strikes me as pretty awesome, because with that much money you don't really know what to do with it -- except maybe outbid Beyonce for a very very expensive house (which strikes me as excessive and better used elsewhere).

Because none of us outside of Mojang (and likely only a handful within Mojang) know the full story, I wanted to temper my criticism Markus a bit. It's easy to demonize a guy who strikes it rich and moves on to other things. It will be interesting to see if he has a public Act II, or if he will essentially retire to obscurity.
