ZILLOW
Markus Persson paid cash for the new spread, which features a 54-foot curved glass living room door, an infinity pool with iPad-controlled fountains and toilets priced at $5,600 each
Weeks after reports circulated about Beyoncé and Jay Z “obviously winning” a bidding war for a 22,300-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, they’ve been bested by Swedish billionaire Markus “Notch” Persson.
He bid $70 million, same as they reportedly did, but his bid was cash and without contingencies.
The sale, which closed in just six days, is the most ever paid for a home in Beverly Hills, according to a press release from the John Aaroe Group, whose agents Sally Forster Jones and Katia De Los Reyes represented Persson. “Cases of Dom Perignon were part of the deal,” the release says.
Persson can afford that sort of thing now. Earlier this year, he and his co-founders sold Mojang, the company that owns the sandbox gaming franchise “Minecraft,” to Microsoft for $2.5 billion.
His new 8-bedroom, 15-bathroom spread sits on a promontory in the high-end Trousdale Estates neighborhood and offers sweeping views from downtown Los Angeles to Malibu Beach — including from a bathtub. The home has a car showroom, a screening room, vodka and tequila bars and a candy room.
The home has an automated 54-foot curved glass door in the living room that opens onto an infinity pool with iPad-controlled fountains. It came furnished, including a replica of James Dean’s motorcycle, and an 18-foot onyx dining room table that seats 24 and includes place settings by Roberto Cavalli that cost $3,700 each.
And for the final touch of luxury, each bathroom is equipped with a $5,600 Toto Neorest toilet.
