Only half a billion and you get a big house, several waterbeds, a failing magazine, and all the smut you could ever want!

NY Times article...it appears that Playboy is worth a million times the value of the NY Times.

I don’t really follow the pornography business. But thought that Playboy had been bypassed by all the more explicit porn available nowadays. Does Playboy really have a big value as a business as a going concern?

$500 mil strikes me as a bit over-inflated, like so many of Hefner’s other fantasies.

Saw my first nekkid woman in a Playboy. A couple of the “bad boys” down the block had managed to sneak one into the treehouse. I was probably around 7 or 8 yrs old.

” But thought that Playboy had been bypassed by all the more explicit porn available nowadays.”

I thought people bought it for the incisive commentary.

Playboy ... would be valued at around $500 million.

It should be valued at about 3 bucks.

Well they say it takes 3 generations of kids to spend/lose the fathers fortune. Hef was there in his life to have spawned the 3 generations before he croaked ..good on him

I was invited 3 times to the mansion, went twice. It’s big, old and lots of hot women. And Hugh Hefner up close looks like a corpse. He was very good host though.

It was 9 PM and he disappeared. His assistant told us he’s napping which is code for actual sleepy time.

Please tell me you didn't swim in "The Grotto".

Can't imagine what kind of beasties are in that pool.
