Did you know there used to be Playboy Mansions all over the world? Playboy enterprises sold "keys" to the local "mansions" which were usually old houses converted to nightclubs. Only members were allowed in. These clubs provided employment to hundreds of workers, including restaurant, bar, and exotic dancers/bunnys. I worked in the one in Denver, Colorado.
The original Playboy Mansion was a huge 70 room residence in Chicago which had been built in 1899 for Dr George Swift Isham, and purchased by Hugh Hefner in 1959. The current Playboy Mansion, called Playboy Mansion West, was built in 1927 for inventor Louis Statham, and purchased by Playboy Enterprises in 1971. It has 29 rooms and a larger separate house on the site.
The house next door is a mirror image of his house. Hugh and his second wife, Kimberley Conrad were married there in 1989, and his wife and children continued to live there until recently. Hefner and his wife sold her house in August 2009 for $18 million, after the youngest of his four children turned 18.
His name is Hugh Hefner & I think he owns the company for the magazine called Playboy which i'm sure you've read or seen before. Apparently he also has 7 women living with him who are all his girlfriends and all ok with each other. He must have a different one for each night. Some people (men) might find that pretty cool but I think its pathetic. All the girls are very pretty & blonde. They are called his "bunnies" - "playboy bunnies". The girls are all in their late twenties & he's I think 71 now, but I could be wrong on that one. He just looks like a dirty old man now. All the girls live in the house with him & have their own rooms. I read a magazine article that the girls had done. They all said neither of them were jealous of each other. I don't believe that 1 bit. I wouldn't share my man like that. Its just not right. THE ONLY THING ABOUT THE GIRLS BOILS DOWN TO ONE THING - MONEY MONEY MONEY AND MORE MONEY... Don-one x.
Don -one is wrong.The mansion is leased from playboy i believe.enterprises.Playboy is not owned by that old bore Heffner.he is more of a PR man.Playboy itself nearly went bust in the past few years and had to be rescued.
