Hugh Hefner Selling $28M Mansion

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is unloading the Holmby Hills mansion adjacent to the Playboy Mansion for $27,995,000. The mansion has been home to his estranged wife Kimberly and their two teenage sons since the late 1990s.

The two-story, 7,300-square-foot (700 square meters) English manor-style personal residence was built in 1929 and purchased by Hefner in 1998.

It has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a library and commons for staff. Some of the walls are hand-painted, and there is a hand-carved staircase.

The home sits on 2.3 acres (one hectare), borders the Los Angeles Country Club and has a pool.

The two homes share a fence and the boys, heading off to college, could easily walk between their parents' respective houses.

The Hefners married in 1989 and despite appearances otherwise, never divorced.

Here is a Google map from above the two homes. The Playboy Mansion's backyard appears to have been tented at the time it was taken:

Hugh is putting up other key Playboy Mansion items as well, including the only known pair of Marilyn Monroe’s “frumpy” pajamas and a mechanical bull ridden and signed by Tennessee Williams

Huge Hefner is a ridiculous old fop. Why anyone cares what he does is beyond me.

Why does anyone care? There are hundreds of people undergoing foreclosur­e on their homes. So who gives a flying rat's behind?

Stupid misleading headline. I saw this on t.v. yesterday so I already knew it was the house next door to the famed Playboy Mansion.

How's it misleading­? It says he's selling a mansion; he's selling a mansion. No, it's not The Playboy Mansion but the headline didn't say that.

He isn't "selling" it for $28 MM until someone agrees to pay that price. Gotta LOL at how people are still unable to grasp what market means.

Turn it into public housing-th­e looks on the faces of the neighbors would be priceless

Now you, too, can live next door to "Silicone Valley."

Next door to the Playboy mansion *and* on a golf course? Where's my checkbook?

Having been to the mansion a couple of times I would have to say that the price is more than warranted. This part of Holmby Hills is breath taking!

Where will Kimberly live?

How many people actually read the post? He's selling the house next door, where his wife and children live! Clorox? C'mon people!

Geez...

We should have asked "huggy Hefner" for a bailout...­.

He seems to be rolling in the dough.....
I guess rolling in the hay pays pretty well...

No lay-off there.

Imagine buying the Playboy Mansion.
Ohh, if those walls could talk.

I have imagined that actually. I think the Playboy Mansion would make a lovely monastery!

He's not selling the playboy mansion, it's the house next door.

I saw where Playboy isn't doing well financiall­y. Men can look at naked women on the internet now. After Hef's death, I'll bet anything his empire finally bites the dust.

First sign was whip-smart daughter Christine stepping down as CEO.
