You Can Own Minecraft Founder Notch's Stuff (In Real Life)

Wish you could live just like Minecraft founder Markus Persson (aka Notch)? Well, you can--if you are the winner of an auction of some of the contents of the $70 million house he moved into in Beverly Hills. Persson apparently is selling Bentley furnishings from the house and a custom 40-piece chandelier, being conducted by an estate sale company.

Persson bought the Beverly Hills mansion back in December of 2014, although Persson has complained rather publicly about how becoming a billionaire has made him unhappy.

The auction benefits Design by Donation, which says it provides services to City Year LA to help at risk youth. Editor's note: a number of items in the sale mentioned in an earlier version of this article--now removed--were apparently were not owned by Persson.
