Check Out Minecraft Streamer's New $4.5 Million Los Angeles Home

CaptainSparklez is living large.

By Eddie Makuch on October 10, 2015 at 4:44AM PDT

Streaming star Jordan Maron, known to the millions of people who watch him play Minecraft as "CaptainSparklez," has purchased a new Los Angeles home for $4.5 million. Variety reports that the 23-year-old's new, 4,100 square-foot house sits on a hillside above Sunset Strip--and it looks amazing.

As you can see in the image above, the defining characteristic of the three-bedroom, five-bathroom abode is its glass terraces. Views (on a clear day, at least) extend to the Pacific Ocean. There is also an outdoor fireplace, infinity pool (and "party-sized spa), sunken wet bar, and a stainless steel barbecue.

Variety also reports that Maron's home is only a few thousand feet away from the $70 million, 23,000-square-foot mansion that Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson bought last year.

For a closer look at Maron's new house, check out a full image gallery here . The YouTube star has more than 8.8 million YouTube subscribers .

Minecraft Streamer Buys Multi-Million Dollar Mansion

Odd Skyrim Clip Shows Player Punished For Doing a Killmove

Fallout fan creates incredible new vegas wall art out of wood, amazing skyrim mod adds creature compendium, noted youtube creator captainsparklez buys a luxury mansion on the sunset strip, bankrolled by the enormous success of his many popular minecraft videos..

How much money did you make the last time you sat down to play Minecraft ? One popular streamer has earned enough from his time with the game that he just signed the deed to a $4.5 million mansion situated on the desirable Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.

The streamer, known to his 8 million YouTube subscribers as CaptainSparklez , publishes content to the service on a daily basis — and his videos consistently garner hundreds of thousands of views. His output largely centres around Minecraft , although other Let's Play series and vlogs are relatively common also.

It's no secret at this point that Minecraft is a major money spinner. When creator Notch sold rights to the game to Microsoft last year for $2.5 billion, he earned more than enough to purchase a multi-million dollar mansion of his own, reportedly a property that Jay-Z and Beyonce were also in the running for .

However, it's one thing for the creator of a hugely popular video game to be financially rewarded for his work. On the other hand, a video game streamer being able to afford a mansion in Los Angeles based on his output is far more unusual — although not completely unheard of.

Swedish YouTube phenom PewDiePie remains the most successful gaming personality on the service. A report circulating earlier this year suggested that the 25-year-old's production company pulled in a whopping $7.45 million in 2014 alone , a decent paycheck by most measures.

It's safe to say that the relationship between YouTube and video games is changing certain industry practices. While opportunities to promote a game on television might seem like the best course of action, the most popular YouTube users have the ways and means to target a very specific audience.

That being said, there's a dark side to the popularity of YouTube as a means of advertising video games. Just last month, it emerged that Machinima had been paid to promote the Xbox One in videos released in the run-up to the release of the console, a move that many have criticized as being underhand and misleading.

For now, noted YouTubers like CaptainSparklez seem set to continue to reap the benefits of the service's enormous reach. All that remains to be seen is whether the site can continue its dominance in online video, or whether a competitor will manage to snatch its crown.

Share All sharing options for: Minecraft streamer buys $4.5M Hollywood home, not far from Notch's mansion

The Minecraft business can be a lucrative one, not just for the people who make it, but also for the people who play it. Popular YouTube personality Jordan "CaptainSparklez" Maron, who primarily plays Minecraft on his channel, just dropped $4.5 million on a new house in the Hollywood Hills — not far from where the game's creator, Markus "Notch" Persson lives —  Variety reports.

Notch made headlines last year for his record-setting  $70 million purchase of a house in Beverly Hills . CaptainSparklez's smaller, more reasonably priced pad is just a few thousand feet away from Notch's Trousdale Estates mansion, but getting back and forth between the two homes requires a much longer, winding drive through Hollywood's curving roads.

Maron's  YouTube channel has more than 8.8 million subscribers and his Twitch channel has more than 1.2 million. On YouTube alone, he's racked up more than 1.9 billion views, which helps explain his ability to afford the new home.

The Minecraft streamer's new digs comes with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, an infinity pool with a nice view of Los Angeles and a three car garage. It does not, however, appear to have a  dedicated candy room .

If you want to take a peek at the kind of Hollywood Hills house 8.8 million subscribers can buy, or just want to solemnly regret not getting on the Minecraft streaming bandwagon early enough, you can check out pictures of the property at  Nicholas Property Group's website .

This guy bought a $4.5 million house with the money he made from streaming 'Minecraft'

We're living in a time when "internet celebrity" and traditional celebrity are blurring into each other, when Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg appears on late night talk shows and Kim Kardashian's most popular product is a new mobile app .

One major YouTube star you might not heard of is "CaptainSparklez." He has over eight million YouTube subscribers and averages several hundred thousand views per video. He's just 23-years-old.

And clearly he's making money off it, too. In fact, Maron just purchased a $4.5 million house in the Hollywood hills, Variety reports . Pretty close to "Minecraft" creator Markus "Notch" Persson, actually — the game that CaptainSparklez is most known for streaming.

So, why is Maron so popular and just how nice is his new house? Let's take a look ...

Maron's has built a huge following by creating music videos and other stunts created in 'Minecraft.'

His first big hit was a takeoff of Psy's 'Gangnam Style' video:

The video was disputed by Universal/Sony for copyright claims, as Maron parody's Psy's "Gangnam Style." The GIF we captured is actually from a ripped version of the original parody video — it's no longer available online.

Here's Maron's megahit parody of Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' — which has nearly 100 million views!

So what do all those views get you? From the outside, his new house house is an unassuming one-story ranch in the Hollywood hills. Pretty design, but nothing to lose your mind over.

But then you walk in and are immediately taken aback by the sheer size of a house that looks relatively tame from the outside. That's a lot of house!

Yes, it is three floors. You enter via the top floor and then descend into the house's hidden floors below. The hills in Hollywood offer an opportunity to hide away entire floors of luxury houses like this one.

His videos are apparently pretty entertaining, as he's got enough cash to snag a $4.5 million pad in Los Agneles. Yes, that is an "infinity" pool you see on the bottom floor. It overlooks Los Angeles.

And yes, there is a jacuzzi right next to the pool. Let's not be silly.

The house is entirely designed around outside patios with glorious, scenic views of Los Angeles.

Like this patio:

And this patio:

But it's not ALL patios. There are also lavish living rooms with artwork by Alec Monopoly.

You should know that this is Alec Monopoly. He's a famous graffiti artist.

There's also a see-through fireplace that doesn't seem intended for cooking or heating..

But it  is pretty to look at, right? If nothing else, you could totally toast marshmallows really easily on this thing.

There are other upscale amenities as well, like this extremely fancy bathroom:

And this second, lavishly appointed living room, which also has Alec Monopoly art in it:

The kitchen and dining room are also rather nice:

But Maron isn't letting his fancy new home go to his head. He snagged a relatively inexpensive (but still very nice) new car to go with the new house: a Fiat 500. Here he is showing it off in typical Captain Sparklez style:

Not too bad for a guy who spends most of his time streaming a single game — a game that looks like this, no less — for a living:

Maybe he'll re-create his new home in 'Minecraft?' Or maybe it's more fun to live places you'll never be able to buy, like the iconic Fallingwater:

YouTuber CaptainSparklez Seeks Sale High Above L.A.’s Sunset Strip

Click here to read the full article.

Lest anyone forget there are unfathomable amounts of money hauled in by YouTube’s leading superstars, Jordan Maron, better known to the global gaming universe as Ferrari-driving Minecraft master CaptainSparklez, has his sleek modern confection above L.A.’s perennially trendy Sunset Strip up for grabs at a mite under $4.9 million. The 28-year-old YouTube phenom, who occasionally produces Minecraft-related music videos and maintains more than half dozen YouTube channels with a total of nearly 14 million subscribers and more than 3.8 billion total views, purchased the eye-catching city-view architectural over the summer of 2015 for close to $4.6 million .

Online marketing materials, which curiously make use of the same listing images as when Maron purchased the property, show the interestingly angled and glass-walled residence was built in 2012 on a precipitous, slightly less than 6,000-square-foot parcel with canyon-framed views over the city. Listings held by Rodeo Realty ’s Joe Babajian and Timmy Woods indicate the mullet-style residence — the low-slung, single-level street profile drops to three full stories at the back — has three bedrooms, five bathrooms and several fireplaces, including one in the master bedroom that incorporates a see-through fire box and uniquely frames a glittery view over the city.

On the uppermost floor, high ceilinged adjoining living and dining rooms spill out through full-height glass sliders to a glass-railed terrace with an outdoor fireplace and spectacular views that stretch from the downtown skyline to the Pacific Ocean. A couple of bedrooms, including the master suite, are located on the middle level and open to small private balconies, while the third is nipped down on the lowest level along with a family room that features a party-sized sunken wet bar. Greenish-tinted floor-to-ceiling glass sliders open the lower level rooms to a stone-tiled entertainment terrace with an infinity-edge plunge pool that cantilevers out over the hillside.
