Persson, who famously outbid Beyoncé and Jay-Z for a Beverly Hills megamansion - paying US$70 million - is on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza.
He's rocking out with the rich and fabulous but says he's "never felt more isolated".
It's apparently not much better for Persson when he's in his homeland, either.

Persson's tweets are a very public reminder of an oft-ignored fact - a person's brain chemistry is the defining factor in their happiness.
You can be rich, famous, beautiful, talented, intelligent, revered, adored, in love and accomplished but if you're not getting enough serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin zapping around your head, life can seem pretty ... blah.

This is one of benefits of living alone: your mood is how happy you are. When you live with someone else, however, you're only as happy as the least happy person in the household.
"Not knowing this ground-level truth of human existence is the equivalent of knowing nothing at all," writes Ligotti.
And, just think, Persson had to earn US$1.3 billion to learn this.
That should cheer anyone up.
