Money brought in by Minecraft: Lets just go with 50 million shall we?
Lost to taxes at 60% tax: 30 mil taken, 20 left
Amount paid to 10(I think its only like 8, but 10 is a nicer number) employees @ $100(I'm assuming very high here)an hour, 40 hour weeks, 52 weeks a year: $2.08 million paid, 17.92 million left
Office rent, lets say 10k a month(I have no idea how right or wrong this is): 120k paid, 17.8 million left
Do I really need to go on? He has plenty of money left over for travel, computers, etc, even if I'm assuming low for some things. Notch is no Bill Gates(yet), but he is still fairly wealthy.
2080000
Being honest you're right, Notch has a LOT of money but is he buying monster trucks and solid gold ducks? Nope, A hell of a lot of it is going back into Mojang, which is impressive in itself, that being said with their new popularity they could soon be multiplying that...
if i had 7million i would get gold ducks, just sayin
if i had 7million i would get gold ducks, just sayin
Mark my words, when I'm rich and eccentric, I'm going to employ artisans to hand craft golden ducks for me. They will range in size from a miniscule 3 centimeters to a whopping 14 feet. They will be randomly dispersed throughout my pool house, which is also gold plated, because I'll be rich as ****.
OT: I'm certain he's rolling in cash, but he's rolling in $1s, not $50s. He's rich, but not gold-plated-breakfast-dishes rich.

I converted the price of the game from Euros to the dollar. Then multiplyed the price of the game tmes how many people bought it and, acording to my results. Notch made nearly 70 million dollars from sales alone. Not to mention adds on the site and the Merch which would easily give him another 10 million.
So by this logic, Activision-Blizzard makes $180,000,000.00 every month and has made a total of $11,880,000,000.00 from World of Warcraft, right? (This is of course ignoring the $40-60 price per box per expansion for every player which equals to, in your logic, about $2,040,000,000.00)
Let's forget things like taxes, costs, expenses, protection, salaries, equipment among a myriad of many other things, I mean, you obviously get 100% of that as profit.
Hell, taxes alone probably take 40-60% of any profit he makes.

I see this so often, and the best response to this is always the same: Then why dont you go and make a game that sells millions. But seriously, why do people hate notch?
Guys remember, this is pretty much all notch's work, so the staff wouldn't have to be factored in until you got to the point where they actually got hired. This was only recently. Not to mention the increase from 10 euros to 15 euros (pounds? I don't know...) was also only recently, and Minecraft already had an established fan base at the time it increased, which means only maybe 25%, if not less, of the 2 million that own Minecraft would have payed 15 for it.
Nobody said anything about loosing the lawsuit, but lawyers cost money buddy, and then there's the court costs on top of that, as well as some other misc. costs related.
Lawsuits are expensive on both sides of the fence, win or loose.
i bet notch dosent care about the money anymore. he could probably hack the banck or something lol idk
He is not nearly a good enough programmer to do that. And yes, I can talk, I used his clientside game engine to break servers. See the link in my description.

I agree with the part of your post that says he is a bad programmer. (Ever seen the source?) But, you need to go back to trolling school, because you fail at it. You cant even speel, or use proper grammar. Why dont you go make a game engine that makes millions?
Tax is meaningless, when you run a company the deductions pay you back far more than the tax you pay. To clarify everyone seems to be calculating tax at the wrong rate, company and entity tax in Sweden is 28.6% from that percent deduct your computers, advertising, running costs, office hire, corporate trips they all get paid for by your tax.
Run a business and have a good accountant and tax is your freebies supply cabinet.
The biggest cost in any company is the employee wages which by rule of thumb tends to be 30% gross annual income in the business world.

To nutshell tax is NOTHING, there is a massive profit sitting in the company (or being syphoned into Notch's account). Notch certainly made his cash, I just wish he'd hire more programmers or buy more mods to integrate.
For all the money he has, Minecraft updates sure are going slowly.

1. He sold the game at (roughly) $10, $15, and $20 each.
2. He didnt lose the lawsuit, and i doubt he will
3. The cost of making the company run.
4. He is still really rich.
