It became known how much money Minecraft brings to its creators every year

Since 2009, the game has generated profits of tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Every year, Minecraft brings in over $100 million to the Mojang studio, as Jeff Y., who became the studio's lead developer after a year of working as an employee involved in development and bug fixes, said on his LinkedIn page. According to his information, Minecraft has over 160 million active players per month; the sandbox itself has sold more than 300 million copies on all platforms as of October of this year.

In addition, Minecraft has been collaborating with Mattel, a toy company since 2014 (including Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels cars). This agreement brought Mojang another $200 million.
