    Well if 2 Million people spent Ten or Fifteen Quid for Minecraft he has to have a lot of money!

    It's only fair to factor in the cost of setting up a new company, hiring all the staff, paying rent on an office, etc, etc - Mojang may have some readily available capital (and I wouldn't begrudge Notch his well earned bonus/salary), but I'd suggest he's having a bit of fun with the Rich comment :)

    I agree, after watching the documentary, it's obviously he is a very humble man.

    The comment was deffo a bit of fun, especially his reply :p

    He also puts a lot of money into the game and merchandise so he deserves all he gets :)

    Well he's already confirmed work on a higher brow title, so I guess he's invested some money back into that game. 2.5 million sold, either 10/15/20 a unit, he's well into about 40 million I reckon.

    I'm so utterly jealous.

    If you create a game that's this great, I say you're allowed to get filthy rich!
