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:

It's too bad Hef never discovered the Fountain of Youth. Was it Falstaff that sold his immortal soul to be
forever young? He edited Playboy using his big round bed as a desk, clad in his pj's. The pix came back to haunt some celebs.

You are probably thinking of the Faust Legend by Goethe. Also in another version, it was Dorian Gray in "A Portrait of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. Here is a brief summary of a salient portion of that book:

Hef doesn't hire little people to pose for his magazine. I should know because I have sent my photos to him many times. We are just as beautiful as you regular size folks. Hef deserves whatever happens to him.

Just bc he didn't accept you? Thats pretty meanspirited of you. So what if you weren't the look he was going for? If he chose everyone who tried, then he would be printing nonstop.

[Plotchnik]

Lol!

Okay, here's the code to use on Google to zoom the image down to the five foot level:

I tried that and all I got was some grassy knoll and a guy with a gun. I deleted it. Useless.

[ChaiKat]

I wonder if he'll take a check.

[Moxo]

Fully "furnished", I hope.

[ResistanceisFutile]

I wish Hef could do for the " Nursing Home Industry" what he did for the soft-porn industry.

This could be his last hurrah and legacy.

I am pulling for you Hef.

Interesting that that lifestyle what we thought was really so cool in the 1960 & 70's, while still a successful curiosity, is more a parody of itself now!

[LiberalBuzz]

How so?

[MiHi]

I'll bet that place glows like a Hendrix poster when put through a realtor's UV light inspection.

[1manisland]

Does the the pool filter clog often ?

[markinaz]

Only after a "bear" party.

Too bad for Hef - California is a community property state.

[gisellestwocents]

Poor Hugh. He has really looked sad since he lost his first girls. They weren't mere Barbie Dolls after all and the mansion is no longer a home without --what's her name?--Holly...

Hopefully he'll find real love while he's still healthy. The one life experience that just can't be purchased. And he'll find that it's the only one that has any real value...

[Maezeppa]

You're referencing the wrong lands - the Holmby Hills mansion is not the Playboy Mansion.

[pianomaniac]

I was beginning to think I was the only one who caught that...lol

[aliceautumn]

Oh please tell me this old pimp is going broke.

[Dukedraven]

Whoa, for a minute, Hugh baby, I thought you were selling the Playboy mansion. That's the hedonist shrine. You can't sell it.

[HappyMarsden]

Hefner is selling his other mansion. Whoop-dee-doo. Why is this news exactly? Does HP get a commission on the sale?

[Blaze1]

not brought, it said built in 1929..

[brandnewstuff]

Bought the house in 1929!

Damn I want to say my grandmother was born in 1920 and my family just came from Switerzland

World WAR 1 and the Russian war - Jesus Christ that man is old

[stormynite03]

can you read? it said it was BUILT in 1929 and he bought it in 98'

[AnalyzeIT]

Now, now..... 'stormynite03', 'brandnewstuff' may be in a position to save your life one of these days - so don't be so hostile. :)

No offense - please notice the smile. :))

Regardless, anyone on this site not praising a Re-Pub is a friend a friend indeed.
