Post by: Mase on January 11, 2016, 03:28:05 PM
Fer Sale (http://www.wsj.com/articles/playboy-mansion-sale-is-next-step-in-business-transformation-exclusive-photos-1452537711)

"The Playboy Mansion—the sprawling Los Angeles house that over four decades came to embody Hollywood’s sybaritic party culture—is going on the market for $200 million.

Longtime resident Hugh Hefner has no plans to leave: Seller Playboy Enterprises is stipulating Mr. Hefner, 89, be allowed to remain at the home for the rest of his life. "


Well, it comes with Hefner, but does it come with Bunnies?

If those walls could talk.......

Was never a big Hef fan.  Always thought he was an egotistical jerk, and a lecherous perv.

Yep. I think you'd need another $5 million to clean up all the DNA in the place, half of which is probably Hef's.

Ahh...now we know where Henning has been doing recently... The mansion will become a prototype for his urban farming strategy.  Who knows what will grow there??

What a weird arrangement. Does Hef then pay you rent? Do you live with him in the house like a room mate? Who has final say in what happens in, or to the house?

I'd say Playboy Enterprises is seriously hurting for cash. This is a cheesy way to raise some cash.

My guess is they're selling it as a sale, with a residual "life estate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_estate)".  The rules around which are pretty well established law.

I imagine you are right, but even if the buyer moves in with him, the mansion is big enough that they would probably rarely see him.  They would probably just his "Bunny Nurses", come and go as the feed and water him.

Didn't they stop putting nudes in the magazine recently?  Did they really believe those of us who jokingly said that we look at Playboy for the articles?

Yep. They are trying to reinvent their magazine to be some sort of serious mens magazine or something. IMO, their media enterprise is collapsing fast. Killed by competition and the internet.

And political correctness.
For some reason, some people think that we should have evolved past sexual fantasy by now.  If that ever happens, how will the species perpetuate itself?

Hell, it's a bargain at twice the price with Hef staying.  With hundreds of horny chicks parading in and out every day...

I seriously doubt there are horny chicks walking in there. Gold digging chicks eager to be paid is quite likely. Each one personally recording every moment so they can publish their "memoirs" about their time with Hef.

On the other hand, lots of eye candy and some would flirt with you because they might assume you're important somehow and then... you never know...  ;)
