<p>We all understand that <a class="zem_slink" title="Minecraft" href="http://www.minecraft.net" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Minecraft</a> is a popular series, arguably no longer worthy of the ‘indie’ title due to the sheer amount of copies it has sold and many dedicating hours upon hours into the game making it sound like more of a AAA title to newcomers than a title made by an individual with a burning passion to change the industry.</p>
<p>But what will <a class="zem_slink" title="Markus Persson" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Markus Persson</a> do with all of this money? Well he may simply upgrade his computer and purchase driving lessons and then a car!</p>
<p>In a post on Reddit he stated;</p>
<p><i>“</i><i>I still like playing games and programming, and once I had the latest computer and consoles, there really isn&#8217;t much more to spend the money on than travelling. I might eventually get a driver&#8217;s license so I can buy a car.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>What would you first buy with $101 Million? Let us know in the comments below!</p>
