#12>>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.
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!
I suppose it would depend on the type of party

#13> John Aaroe said, “I have been in this market for over 30 years and have never seen the level of growth that the luxury market has experienced in the past year, with no end in sight.” Hyperbole, or truth? and why?
Always assume a real estate agent in engaging in hyperbole, but...
In the last year or so I've seen a lot of houses in Hollywood Hills / Beverly Hills purchased, demolished, and rebuilt from the ground up. Needless to say, that's quite an expensive endeavor. Compared to a few years ago when houses in the same area sat on the market forever, it seems like things have taken a turn for the better.

#14Wasn't this the house owned by the douchebag director in Mulholland Drive?

The top 0.1% are doing really really well http://equitablegrowth.org/research/exploding-wealth-inequal...
I think the top 0.1% are always doing really well, by definition, no?
No. If all were equal the top 0.1% would be doing exactly as well as everyone else.

#17Façade seems kind of blocky. ;)

#18No surprise that the mansion looks like it was made out of blocks.
Also amusing to see a nerd outbid entertainment megacouple JayZ/Beyonce.

#19Good for him. I also enjoy the fact that he's bought something which I can imagine would be relatively straightforward to recreate in the game which got him there.
People saying it's a "tasteless piece of real estate" seem misguided. It's a lovely building, architecturally. I don't think the furnishings do it justice (it's all too plush and nouveau) but it's a really lovely design.
