Billionaire unhappy with his billions.

No good deed goes unpunished. fukk their ungrateful asses...pissed at him because he wanted to move on with his life (although his focus was making sure THEY were okay).

I already laid out the math. The company sold for 2.5 billion and each of the 20 or so employees received about 150,000 pounds as a bonus. 3 million in total bonuses amounts to .12% of the total sale. If they took even 1% of the sales and spread it out as a bonus each person would have received over 1 million pounds. So don't tell me your main focus was making sure the employees were taken care of when you couldn't even come off 1% of your earnings to change the course of their lives and their children's lives forever. This clown parties in Beverly Hills and Ibiza with people he doesn't know and then complains that he feels lonely because his friends and family have to work. There is a reason this guy was a basement dwelling outcast before his game blew up.

If all it took was 1% of my money to ensure my folks didn't want for anything in life I would give it without hesitation. I donate a higher percentage of my money to charities that benefit people I don't know than he did to the employees that helped him grow his company to a 2.5 billion dollar evaluation.

Actions speak louder than Twitter characters.

The 70m he spent on that house he made back in interest in 2 months

Could have bought himself a 70m yacht instead and enjoyed his solitude.

i guess being worth even a billion dollars doesn't mean life is all roses. insane wealth doesn't guarantee happiness, as much as most people - myself included, figure it would.

having said that, i won't wanna hear dude complaining about it. he should go on a 5 year retreat, fukk some prostitutes and drink a bunch of ayahsuca or something. miss me with that twitter whining bullsh1t

Man, I respect the game that he has made, bought it for the kids, played it and even enjoyed it, but this guy is a fukking chump and shows mentally bankrupt he is. I stay busting my ass because I like the grind. I showed my mom my offer sheet from the new job I start next week. She was like, I know who will take care of me when I retire. I'm past that threshold for supposed happiness in relation to dollars. I'm forever chasing 'it.' What is 'it?' It's the continued, gradual success that I have at the workplace. It's the fact that as a black man, I'm putting in work so that others can see me and go, if Iceberg can do, so can I. It's about the money, but it's not all about the money. I will forever set goals for myself. This sucker lost the plot to that somewhere. No, it's highly unlikely that he'll come close to Minecraft as that will forever be his magnum opus but still, live your life and style on your haters. Makes no gotdamn sense for he and I to have run across the same Xhamster videos in the past three months and he's going to Ibiza of all places.

Let me run up on that kind of bread....after 5 years of fukkery (traveling the world with my squad banging ladies)



I would go hard on getting all smart - motivated black people together to have help raise our people.

Ive yet to see rich people wish they weren't wealthy
Hell, cacs will jump off a roof at the thought of being broke (literally)
This guy hasn't adjusted to his new found wealth, that's all and thinks he can still move the way he used to move

He got the money to travel into space and stay on the space station if he wanted to.

Laughed out loud.

 

[Bless't]

Maybe that's why even rich people keep working.
I guess in the end, it's not so much about working to make money and buy things. It's about having a purpose or a goal to reach toward.



Also - true happiness is only real when shared.

I agree with all of this.

Good thread. I enjoyed reading it. To all of it's participants...

He's the creator of Minecraft and recently sold the company to Microsoft, he's worth $1.5 billion. Dude has a limited imagination, and the fact his friends and family still work despite him being worth $1.5 billion tells you all you need to know about him.

Uh huh. Well, if his friends are still working, that's fine. I don't know why they would be entitled to live a job free life and freeload off their friend. If his immediate family is still working, that's okay too. Some people want to work to enjoy life. But if his parent's are struggling, that's cold.

Dude partied in Ibiza and felt alone.
Dude's girlfriend was afraid of his newfound wealth and left him for a regular guy.
Dude doesn't feel close to his employees anymore.

Dude has no idea what life is about. It's about friends and family. What would I do if I sold a computer game company and became a billionaire? Boost my relationship with the current friends, not try to buy my way to happiness with new friends. Still do the same things I used to do except maybe get the opportunity to do things on a grander scale. Before, I would go on a road trip to an NFL game used to mean getting nose-bleed seats with the homeys. Now, I could do the same thing but get seats really close to the field, or maybe club seats. Before, I would watch an NBA game on TV. Now, I could go to a game and watch it live from courtside. Before, I would go to 7-Eleven in my minivan to get a Big Gulp soda. Now, I could do the same thing but in a Porsche 911 turbo with custom cup holders.

That's the thing, he's talking like he can't make more games or some shyt.

He could open the most well funded indie studio in the world.

He hit his ceiling.

Yeah, 1.5 billion isn't enough for a Paul Allen style yacht though


But, Allen is doing whatever he wants and making people listen to his shytty music

With that kind of cash, you could just buy the entire site and have a data center in your mansion storing all the data, and directly access all content without having to stream it over the Internet.
