HUGH MARSTON HEFNER
Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy and Playboy Enterprises, has died at age 91. Hefner died very peacefully at home in the 22,000 – square foot Playboy Mansion, in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles. The home was sold last year, for $100 million, with the understanding that, Hugh Hefner would live there for the rest of his days.
Contrary to popular belief, Hefner does not own the Playboy Mansion. Playboy Enterprises owns the mansion and Hugh payed rent annually while he lived there with his wife and girlfriends.
DAVID HEFNER
The Playboy mansion was dubbed, ‘Party Central” as it was the center for parties featuring captains of several industries, sizably wealthy CEOs, billionaires, actors, actresses, magazine centerfolds, play mates of the year, playboy bunnies, nude models, free sexual contact and experimentation.
