Markus Persson, better known as Notch, became an internet icon after creating the global phenomenon Minecraft. Memes surrounding him often focus on his transition from an indie developer to a billionaire after selling Mojang to Microsoft in 2014 for $2.5 billion. Common themes include his signature fedora, his massive $70 million Beverly Hills mansion, and his outspoken, often controversial social media presence. These memes are typically used to comment on indie game success stories, the surreal nature of extreme wealth, or nostalgic references to the early days of 'sandbox' gaming and development.
