Only half a billion and you get a big house, several waterbeds, a failing magazine, and all the smut you could ever want!
And Hugh Hefner for the rest of his life.
Will there be a balloon payment?
Buyer is sure gonna get screwed.
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.
I couldn’t afford the silicone.
” But thought that Playboy had been bypassed by all the more explicit porn available nowadays.”
I thought people bought it for the incisive commentary.
It should be valued at about 3 bucks.
That playmate in that pic is Donna Michele....one of the best ever
My dream as a little boy in the 60s
She’s long gone but I’ll never forget her
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
This country doesn’t even know what playboy mag is.
Thanks Al Gore.
Or ‘Over Inflated’ silicon enhancements
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.
Can't imagine what kind of beasties are in that pool.
Is it a virgin?
Shes long gone but Ill never forget her
She is? Damn, I be old.........
