Who Is Markus Persson?
Markus Persson was writing computer code by the time he was 8. Although he never finished high school, Persson landed a programming job when he was 18.

Persson eventually sold his software company, Mojang, and the game that put him on the map, to Microsoft for $2.5 billion.
Early Years
Markus Alexej Persson was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 1, 1979.
