>>Beverly Hills recorded the highest-priced sale in its history Thursday at $70 million for an 8-bedroom, 15-bath home in Trousdale Estates.

I've often wondered what Notch intends to do with his Minecraft millions. Looks like he's "loading up the truck and movin to Beverly, Hills that is". Sounds like a nice house, kind of an odd bedroom to bath ratio though.

Hyperbole, or truth? and why?

The bedroom/bathroom metric is probably a sub-optimal frame of reference for size when you have a mansion with a dedicated candy room, and thus lots of large non-bedroom rooms. The room/bathroom metric is probably a little closer less skewed. Opulent none the less.

From what I've seen about it online, it's designed from the ground up to be optimized for entertaining. In other words, a party house. In that case having plenty of bathrooms makes more sense!

The top 0.1% are doing really really well

I think the top 0.1% are always doing really well, by definition, no?

Despite all the focus on the losers in the rising inequality, it is equally true that is easier (in very relative terms) than ever before for basically anybody in the world to amass huge wealth. Basically you're getting a lot of new rich people who don't have all the rich people toys in their family already and they need to stock up quickly.

This is a house for entertaining. The ratio makes sense.
