Hugh Hefner Sells House - Not Playboy Mansion
Aug. 8 2009, Published 1:04 p.m. ET
More drama has occurred in the posh Holmby Hills area - and it doesn't involve Michael Jackson. Playboy mastermind Hugh Hefner, and his estranged wife Kimberley have sold their Playboy-adjacent home for a cool $18 million. Wait, Hugh Hefner is married!!!
Take a minute to swallow that, and now let it be known that the man who has bought the property is 25 years old. The buyer is Daren Metropoulos, a local entrepreneur.
So what do you get when you spend $18 million dollars, besides sharing airspace to the legendary home of the Grotto? The house that was built in 1929 is 7,300 square feet English Manor-style two story crib that has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. Plus if you're a golfer, it's a 7 Iron drive away from the Los Angeles Country Club.
But lets be honest, if the sale doesn't get you access to the Playboy Mansion, is it really worth it?
