Minecraft billionaire who beat Beyoncé and Jay-Z to a Beverly Hills mansion is selling—just as California votes on a billionaire tax
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Markus “Notch” Persson, the Minecraft creator who outbid Beyoncé and Jay-Z for a Beverly Hills mansion, is listing the property as California voters weigh a billionaire wealth tax. The listing comes as the tax proposal has already driven Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Travis Kalanick out of the state, according to the report. Persson’s agent said he rarely spends time in Los Angeles anymore. The sale underscores how proposed wealth taxes can influence where ultra-wealthy residents hold property. Watch the California vote outcome and whether other high-profile owners follow with listings or relocations.
