    I heard about this earlier today. It's the beginning of the end of the era. I can still dream about meeting Hef one day for a little while still. (Tears)

    Yea, I always wanted to visit..they used to hold contests for winning a chance to. I also saw they're having the Midsummer Nights party @ a couple different nightclubs I think.
    It's funny, I had a feeling that it was already sold, I think the co's been sold too, I found it weird that there's no nudity in the mag anymore.

    I don't think they sold the company. They just aren't the family business they use to be. After Hef got old his daughter took over and for whatever reason she stepped down and now some other non Hefner is CEO. Although after Hef dies his son is supposed to be the new face of Playboy. The new ceo and little Hefner (can't think of this name right now) are disagreeing about nudity. CEO said people stopped buying playboy because Instagram is offering free nudity. The Playboy website still offers nudity tho.

    Just my input of useless Playboy knowledge.

    Cooper Hefner is the brother most involved with what's left of the business. Playboyplusdotcom continues with the more sexual style of modeling as before and is even more revealing then they used to be. What people sometimes forget is that Hef during his prime was THE editor. He had final approval of everything. He chose all the models. He picked the artwork and selected the authors and article topics. Without his eye and his vision, it would have been just another men's magazine. He gave it an aura of upscale gentleman cool and made trends instead of following them. The new "Playboy" is just another celeb magazine and website now without the personality of the past. Even if Cooper was in charge, a lot of the old mystique is gone. If you want to understand the influence that Playboy once had, don't start with the centerfolds--start with the covers. They created a fantasy even before you opened the magazine.

    Thumbs down Re: PB Mansion SOLD!

    This is what the Playboydotcom page looks like on a laptop before scrolling down. What a difference. You can see what the problem is immediately. No guy wants to see pics of other guys before he sees the women he came to see. Wow, booze and beer. How original.

    Playboy has always also been a lifestyle magazine. Although 1/2 a decade ago the website was mostly the girls of playboy and college top 5 party schools when the page opened.

    Awesome comment, thanks. Yes, I agree, the covers were really cool in the past, I have a few issues..one designed by Peter Max, one was a Kiss feature

    I'm not too shocked or surprised by the mansion being sold and the magazine going into an entirely different direction. But when Hef dies, that will bring tears to my eyes though.

    I can't believe dude bought that for 100 milli ... but i guess when you're a billionaire you can throw money around like that.

    Why would hugh hefner want to stay in a house he no longer owns? And why would a buyer what the previous owner creeping around? IDK weird to me.

    He sold it, retained a life estate, gets 100 million, and to stay there rent free, nothing to worry about. The new owner gets a deal, just has to wait for Hef to (die or maybe go into a home depending on the exact terms of whatever hef actually retained). Not a bad deal. What is the going rate on vacant land in that neighborhood?

    It maybe weird but without the image of the mansion with Hef Playboy the illusion would die over night. It's already dying a slow death but Playboy has bounced back before.

    Paying rent is probably cheaper than a nursing home!

    According to what I heard, he has been paying rent for a long while, even when Girls Next Door was on.
    The corp owned it, & he leased out certain rooms
