Jay Z And Beyonce Just Lost The Most Expensive Home In Beverly Hills To This Man

Goodbye, candy room. '

Markus Persson, the Swedish creator of Minecraft, has bought the most expensive house in Beverly Hills, California -- the same mansion Jay Z and Beyoncé made a bid on. Not even Beyoncé could make him bow out of the deal.

The 35-year-old Minecraft maven, who sold his company to Microsoft for $2.5 billion this fall, purchased the house for $70 million, $15 million lower than its old listing price. According to TMZ, Jay and Bey were eyeing the house as well.

John Aaroe Group, the real estate company that made the sale, said the home included cases of Dom Perignon, two dozen Roberto Cavalli place settings at $3,700 each, a replica of James Dean's motorcycle, and -- my favorite part -- a room full of candy. Check out this picture Persson tweeted:

The closing bid was the highest price ever paid for a home in Beverly Hills. The 8-bedroom, 15-bathroom mansion included $5,600 toilets.
