What would you do with $2.5 bil dollars?
Yeah, lots of crazy talk going on right now, all the hate going around for Mojang selling out...
But srly, $2.5 bil. Just think about that for a minute. Can you imagine what you can buy for that sorta cash? Really. Dig deep and think about it.
What would you do with $2.5 bil?
You could have bought the LA Clippers, and still had half a bil left.
You could have bought an entire Hawaiian island (Lanai) like Larry Ellison for $500 mil, and still have $2 bil left.
You could buy all of Take 2, including everything Rockstar ever created for less than $2 bil.
You could buy Riot and Bioware combined, and still have left over cash.
Or you could help humanity in so many ways.
This isn't
$2,500,000.00
or
$25,000,000.00
or even
$250,000,000.00
IT'S
$2,500,000,000.00
Sure, Notch didn't do it for the money. But imagine what he could do with it now that he has it.
UPDATE!
So even if you decide to just live off of the interest (assuming 5% annual return), you would end up with $125 mil each year, and never spend a dime of your $2.5 bil.

I would buy a fairly large house, but not a mansion, and hook up to google fibre.
With the internet, I will put CAT7 ethernet wires all through my house.
Buy a building somewhere downtown.
Inside the building I would host fairly good amount of dedicated servers which I could use for any web related service.
start a small game design company, and build a game of my dreams

I'm probably the only person who would honestly keep $1 million and give all the rest to charities ._.
No one person should have all that money sitting around...

Find some good causes to invest in! Don't just spend it on yourself. Many people who have won the lottery have ended up either blowing all the money or killing themselves or both. Why? Because money will not buy you happiness, and suddenly finding that you can completely coast in life without having to put in any effort can lead you to an existential depression. What feels better? To earn something by working hard or to have everything handed to you?
I would help meet many of the financial needs of the people around me to help them get on their feet because financial stress can break people and marriages, after that it's up to them. I would find good things to invest in, like companies to provide good jobs for people or scholarships for people to go to school. And of course investing a good portion so that you can get more off the interest. The more money you can take away from the government and actually put to some good use the better.
My main goal would be to get rid of it and put it in better hands as quickly as I could, before I got used to the idea of having all that money to myself and having it corrupt me or tempt me into self-indulgent living and wasting it on myself.

I would buy a 21-room penthouse apartment in Sweden, probably near or in Stockholm, and furnish few of the rooms with all IKEA furniture.
Then visit Bora Bora.
Then... retreat to my 21-room house and live there forever. Be comfortable and find an ideal job. Work. Write. Learn to cook.

I'd probably just go and put 2 billion of it into a bank to get some interest on. After 10 years I'd have 4 Billion. Mwahahahaha
1
First, I would leave about 100 million for my future ahead of me, and spend about 50 million (possibly) into college so i could get a better life. Then i would put 50 million into the stock to possibly earn 10x that. Then I would buy a house, small and easy to keep up with. Then I would buy a nice car that i want. Then possibly build a super computer, and a nice computer office space. Then make an office like machinema. Then i would save the rest
1
Give 1 billion split 500M into 2 charities like cancer research. With The rest i would probably order the next 10 Playstation Consoles, Build a mansion, Get a Super Computer for gaming , and buy some awesome cars
1
I would build a 79k 4 titanz, 4 i7, liquid cooled computer. Then buy a few thousand games, then give 1 billion to charity, then buy Unity Pro and maya and make a really cool game.

Every Nintendo console ever
You know what, I'l just buy every Fire Emblem and Pokemon game ever, build an epic PC, stash $100 million for paying off bills for the rest of my life and some future generations, and give the remaining money to charity

DatFoxNamechangeI would live myself through, buy a nice car, a nice house, a nice wife, and I'd still work. Then I'd pass the rest generations and generations after me.
I'd also donate some to charity.

Actually drop all of that.
I'd:
1.) go to a good school to learn something
2.) donate most of it to the military and animal charity's
3.) buy a decent car and house
4.) help my parents and close friends out
5.) id still work no matter what
6.) buy the iphone 6
7.) buy a supercomputer
8.) donate some to PMC, my favorite Minecraft forum website
9.) give the rest to generations past me
10.) buy a 4k monitor
11.) start a charity
I don't think people realize how much 2.5 bil is. You could live 25 generations off of that. It is tons of money. Tons and tons.

Uh, yea just so you know Notch didn't get the 2.5 Billion. Nobody got the 2.5 Billion. Notch's final cut was probably only about 250 Million. Mojang was a company, and the COMPANY was acquired. Notch would have got a cut because he made them so rich and famous in the first place, but he wouldn't have even got 1/5 of the profits. Notch, Dinnerbone, etc would have got a cut, and so would everyone at Mojang would get like a Christmas bonus or something, but nobody will even get probably even 1/10th of that money. Thats how life works. Just saying'......
1
Not entirely accurate. Notch was majority shareholder of Mojang by a large margin. Your calculation of $250 mil suggests he only owned 10% of the company. True, he doesn't get all the $2.5 bil, but by all accounts he is now a billionaire.

Move to America?xD Dont...

That would be a complete waste... Ram doesn't make a PC faster...

With $2.5 bil, you can buy a PC hardware maker, and string all the PC's together to form Skynet.

Jeb is the head-Developer For Miencraft

Also Notch Quitted Mojang a while back

It's not like Notch sold Mojang without anyone else's opinion; they all agreed to sell it and I think all the Mojangsters got a share of the 2.5 Billion (after taxes, of course).
