If Jay Z and Beyoncé still plan on moving out West, they’re going to have to pick another mega-mansion. A $70 million offer from billionaire was enough to edge the Carters out for the 23,000-square-foot property in Beverly Hills.
Reports TMZ:
Our real estate sources tell us … Markus Persson plunked down $70 million cash for a 23,000 square foot palace in Bev Hills.
Markus can afford it … he sold his company, Mojang — which created the video game Minecraft — to Microsoft for $2.5 BILLION.
As we reported, Beyonce and Jay Z visited the house multiple times and made an offer but Markus beat them out at 70.
The other winners … realtors Branden Williams and Ben Bacal who get a big fat commission check.
The home has eight bathroom, 15 bathrooms, a movie theater, a candy room, and lots of other luxuries. The original asking price was $85 million.
