I'm not surprised, the company makes like 1/10 of that in a day. In the past 24 hours, 8,880 people bought Minecraft. At $30 per copy, that's $266,400 they made.
For those of you curious what a "dividend" means in everyday terms, it is basically a form of payment made by a corporation (paid regularly, typically quarterly) to its shareholders out of its profits (or reserves). For Notch, this means "money paid to him by Mojang as a shareholder". So, Notch has taken the available dividends paid to him for the fiscal year of 2011, and distributed them among his fellow staff members, rather than take it home himself.
Holy ****!
Mojang landed on communtiy chest. Mojang collects dividends of 3 million dollars.
That's a freaking sweet bonus. The man is willing to give that much of his personal income as a shareholder to his employees, who likely think the pay is just a nice addition to having a job they love. I'll drink to that.
wow.... just wow. a man willing to give away that amount of money is a extrodanarly kind hearted man who genuinly cares about his employees and deserves everyones up most respect... plus he made a ****ing awesome game xD
Thats a lot of money. Notch must be the most generous company owner ever. You know other big companies find the best ways to make their employers poor.
