Apparently being a billionaire isn’t as awesome as it sounds, according to video game designer Markus Persson. You might remember he sold Minecraft to Microsoft for $2.5 BILLION back in December.

Turns out all that money has brought him is loneliness, isolation and a lack of motivation.
Check out these Tweets he was firing off the other day:
The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance.

In sweden, I will sit around and wait for my friends with jobs and families to have time to do shit, watching my reflection in the monitor.

When we sold the company, the biggest effort went into making sure the employees got taken care of, and they all hate me now.

Found a great girl, but she's afraid of me and my life style and went with a normal person instead.

Well, that’s depressing. Fair enough it must take a while to adjust to becoming a billionaire overnight, but at the end of the day — no-one wants to hear about your billionaire problems dude. Nobody reading those Tweets is feeling sorry for you, in fact they’re supremely jealous. You’re basically saying “my life’s so shit, I’ve got all this money laying around and no one to spend it with because all my mates are poor people with normal jobs”. Shut up dude. Spend some of those billions on a top-end psychiatrist, don’t bring those kind of problems to Twitter.
I mean seriously, we’re all hard at work after a wallet-busting Bank Holiday and this prick’s moaning about feeling isolated in Ibiza:
Here mate – splash some of your cash on this and get over it already. Rich people problems indeed.
