Minecraft creator Markus Persson is looking to move on from his Beverly Hills mansion, with the billionaire facing the prospect of taking a loss on the sale.
The sprawling property made headlines when it sold in 2014 for US$70 million ($101 million) after the Swedish billionaire outbid Beyoncé and Jay-Z to buy the home.
More than a decade since Persson bought the mansion, it has returned to the market for exactly the same price he paid.
The median home value in Los Angeles has more than doubled over the past 12 years, yet Persson is not asking for a return on his investment, according to the Los Angeles Times .
The video game creator, who sold Minecraft developer Mojang to Microsoft for US$2.5 billion ($3.62 billion) in 2014, is reportedly selling because he no longer spends much time in Los Angeles.
The property sits on nearly an acre in Trousdale Estates, one of Beverly Hills’ most coveted enclaves.
Built by developer Bruce Makowsky, the two-level mansion has eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, two swimming pools, a lift, its own nightclub and a multimillion-dollar recording studio.
The nightclub, which Persson installed after buying the home, features a professional DJ booth, dance floor and bar.
The main bedroom suite has sweeping city views and its own private pool overlooking the Los Angeles basin.
The mansion also includes a cinema, wine cellar and panoramic views stretching from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean.
The home is available furnished or unfurnished, with the listing describing it as a rare opportunity to own a property at one of Beverly Hills’ most celebrated addresses.
