If I had his kind of money making me feel bad (which it wouldn't, but let's just go for it for argument's sake), I'd take a good chunk of it and invest it interesting startups like SpaceX and stuff like that. Then I'd take another good chuck of it and form a scholarship fund to fund interesting research into space science, earthquake/volcano prediction and stuff like that. Problem solved AND you're advancing science. Win-win!
But noooo he has to be a whiny self-loathing git.

I think most of that whining Notch was doing was just after he got all that money. Not like I'd know but I'd imagine it would take an adjustment period to get use to the lifestyle changes that all that money would have. I don't see any of that kind of stuff from him these days.

I honestly don't know what I'd do with 2 billion dollars.. but sitting around on the computer waiting for my friends to get off work wouldn't really be on the list.
Oh, I'd sit around on the computer no doubt.

Money wouldn't change me in that regard. I would still come here and shit post. The only difference is that I would pay hitmen to kill those who neg'd me.

Yeah, it's a whole different world for Notch vs NoNeckMagee_01 the athlete.
I think someone already did this math, but Notch's net worth is estimated at $1.5b. At bare minimum, it will make 3% interest yearly (probably much more since top notch financial guys would be happy to help him boost his returns, but w/e). That means he would get $45m per year in perpetuity. Or about $125k per day. Even if it was taxed at 50%, it's still practically more than you could spend.
Now if an average athlete makes $5-10m over the course of his 3-5 year career, that would only pay out $150-300k per year if principal wasn't touched (good luck talking him out of touching the principal). So when you see Douchenuts with his crew of 20 leeches, just assume he going to be broke as shit a couple of years post retirement.

Ahahahaha! The second someone self-declares they are "king of the chavs", you know the money is gonna be gone in the blink of an eye. He didn't disappoint.

Some of the guys I work with keep telling me that if I were to win the lottery (I don't play, but for the sake of argument) I "couldn't possibly spend all that money." I keep telling them they are ridiculously uninformed, because I definitely could come up with creative ways to spend even a billion dollars if it came to that. Now, I hope that I wouldn't, and that I would set it up in such a way that I'd never work another day in my life and still do all kinds of cool things, but there is ALWAYS something you can spend more money on. I guess it is a reflection of their simple minds that they don't think of things like yachts and private jets and tons of other things. Yes, I work with morons, I said it.
That being said, Notch is a moron if he can't find things to do with all that fucking money. Sure he might actually be somewhat thrifty with his money for all I know, but you can afford to be a little extravagant with that much cash. And the shit about a woman leaving him for a normal guy probably had nothing to do with his money, it probably had to do with him being a weird motherfucker, or maybe he kept asking her if she was with him for the money, or maybe she just didn't like fat guys. Who knows? I can't necessarily give advice to someone that might be relatively undateable before he got money, if he's actually looking for love. But we all can give him advice if all he wants is some pussy. Maybe he should take the pay-for-pussy route for a few years and get some confidence, and then focus on maybe finding a real love connection.
Jesus, I'd give almost anything to have those "problems."
