Playboy Mansion up for sale for $200m, comes with Hefner for housemate, US media says

Source: ABC

Hugh Hefner's infamous Playboy Mansion is reportedly up for sale for $200 million, but the buyer will have to allow the magazine publisher to live there until he dies, US media said.

The home of Playboy magazine and its founder will be listed within the next month, celebrity website TMZ reported.

Playboy Enterprises is seeking upwards of $200 million, but TMZ, citing real-estate sources in the area of Holmby Hills — close to Beverly Hills — said the mansion was more likely to go for between $80 million and $90 million.

Prospective buyers can tour the sprawling property, reputedly host to some of America's most raucous parties, but Mr Hefner's bedroom is off-limits, TMZ said.

Is that some kind of tarp over the left chimney....?

It's not quite Grey Gardens but it would take a lot of work to put right, I'm guessing. Probably needs a lot of repointing.

Hell, some perv like that Drew what-his-face with the giant porn collection ought to buy it.

I'll give $200 million IF controlling interest in Playboy Enterprises (and a Home Depot gift card with about $10 million on it) comes with it.
