I doubt he's going to go out with many regrets. What a life.
At the Los Angeles Times, "Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion lists for $200 million":
What does $200 million buy in Los Angeles these days? The Playboy Mansion, for one.Heh.
The legendary Holmby Hills estate where Hugh Hefner has worked and made his home for four decades is on the market for the nine-figure sum, making it among the priciest residential properties for sale in the United States.
As part of any sale, the 89-year-old Hefner will be allowed remain in residence for the remainder of his life, media reports said.
Among the major works of architect Arthur R. Kelly, the stone-clad Gothic Tudor-style mansion was built for department store scion Arthur Letts Jr. in 1927. Playboy acquired the estate of more than five acres in 1971 for around $1.1 million.
"At the time Hef and Playboy purchased the home, it was the largest real estate transaction in Los Angeles history," Gary Gold of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, said in a news release. Gold holds the listing with Drew Fenton, also of Hilton & Hyland, and Mauricio Umansky of The Agency.
Within nearly 20,000 square feet of interiors are 29 rooms including chef's and catering kitchens, a game room, a wine cellar and a screening room with a built-in pipe organ. The master suite occupies parts of two floors.
The mansion is also among a select number of L.A. properties to have a zoo license...
A zoo license, roarrr!
Still more.
