Dat moment when you enter the kitchen to grab some breakfast and a confused and very naked Hugh Hefner is staring blankly at you.

 

[StillEdge]

Here's hoping I win the Powerball.

 

[Dalek]

This sounds like the pilot to an NBC sitcom.

 

[eu pfhor ia]

This is just weird as hell. Is he hoping someone like Warren Buffet has a few million to throw away in exchange for geriatric orgies?

 

[ZiZ]

Does it come with the girls?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Seems like something Martin Shkreli would have bought were he not facing legal troubles.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

This house can be yours if you allow an 89 year old man to live there rent free sounds like a strange sales pitch

 

[BennyBlanco]

Damn, Hefner is pushing 90.

 

[exemp30]

I know what I'm buying once I win the powerball.

 

[Nudull]

Will I need a hazmat suit every time I enter?

 

[EvilKatarn]

Sexy (not really) until you realize how many drunk dudes must have rubbed their crotch against it.

So like the playboy bunnies?

 

[Savitar]

The Penthouse guy is going to try and buy it isn't he.

He wanted to buy out the mag but pretty sure they refused on the basis they hate him.

Made me wonder how that guy seems to be doing so well.

 

[jorma]

Sexy (not really) until you realize how many drunk dudes must have rubbed their crotch against it.

Is there a limit to the number of crotches you'd find acceptable, or do you require your sinks to be virgins?

 

[NHarmonic.]

I remembered that scene in The Simpsons when Hef plays the Love-matic on Moe's tavern. So good.

 

[SenorArdilla]

At least you can rest assured that monks coming onto your property to sell flowers will be a thing of the past.

 

[The Beard]

Does Hef have any money or pride left? This is kind of sad.

 

[joe2187]

*walks by hefs room*

 

[bengraven]

How the mighty has fallen. I feel for him. Owner of the coolest magazine on the stands for decades, now just a shell of it's greatness. Mansion is falling apart, too.

Notch should get in on this.

 

[Zombine]

Was it Vice who crashed a Playboy party and wrote about it? They said it was pretty depressing and dated. This meshes with what a poster said a bit earlier about it not being updated since the 70s.

 

[demosthenes]

I wonder what that place looks like under a blacklight.

A Jackson pollack painting.

 

[AliasGreed]

For anyone that doesn't know a life estate means you cant move in until he dies. I might be wrong i should wiki it.

 

[Savitar]

If that is the case it's probably not long from now.

 

[Kenstar]

There once was a Man named Hugh Hefner, who was the King of the Playboys.
He had fame, power and wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
Before they evicted him from the property, these were the final words he said:
"My Mansion is yours for the Renting, but you'll have to sign it first; I left everything I owned in One Lease."

 

[Silent Chief]

I bet the Kardassians buy the place.

Having Hef around would just be a bonus.

 

[Manifest Destiny]

Sure why not, his friends can stay too

[SoulUnison]

The most recent Playboy bunny tell-all book had her saying Hef hasn't cleaned or updated any of the stuff in the mansion since the 70s.

That said, I'd love a tour.

Probably a combination of not having as much actual money as he wants to appear as he has and not wanting to update the decor because he's still trapped in the nostalgia of his golden age.

This house can be yours if you allow an 89 year old man to live there rent free sounds like a strange sales pitch

It's basically a gamble on both ends. Hef needs money but doesn't want to leave the home he's had for so long and that he's lived "the life" in, while the buyer has to make a weird moralistic decision about just how much longer an 89 year old man can possibly hold out, anyway.

Honestly, this could be a screenplay.

 

[Stinkles]

Now I wish martin shkreli was free so he could buy it and have a pet Hef.

 

[KAP151]

Wow. After looking at teh Vice article, that place is depressing.

He wants $200 million? Wont get anywhere near that.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If he sells the property, Hef will be forced to disclosed the underground secret entrance to the new owner.

 

[UrokeJoe]

If he sells the property, Hef will be forced to disclosed the underground secret entrance to the new owner.

Not if it's hidden really well.

 

[Zombine]

If he sells the property, Hef will be forced to disclosed the underground secret entrance to the new owner.

While they would be disclosed (the blueprints do exist), there is a good chance that they have been sealed.

 

[The Wall]

Hef finally gets to be the house bunny without all that competition keeping him down! ^_^

 

[Hollycat]

Wouldn't that be a life tenancy?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I wonder what that place looks like under a blacklight.

Blinding.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

While they would be disclosed (the blueprints do exist), there is a good chance that they have been sealed.

It would be the new owner's duty/fun/right/whatever to remove the seal and show the probably depressing looking hidden area to the world.

 

[Dalek]

Wow-I thought you might have been exaggerating....yikes. It looks like a place stuck in time.

All empires crumble eventually, in one way or another.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Is there a limit to the number of crotches you'd find acceptable, or do you require your sinks to be virgins?

I'm talking vigorous humping. The kind that no dudebro could resist when seeing a butt-shaped sink.

Moderate leaning against is fine.

 

[Host Samurai]

Playboy mansion is sounding more like a haunted house. 70's decor and dirty. Perfect setting for Resident Evil 7

 

[ito007]

So Hef just wants people to pay for him to live there?

For anyone that doesn't know a life estate means you cant move in until he dies. I might be wrong i should wiki it.

Oh, well if that's the case then never mind

 

[MG310]

This could have been Hef's new roommate if not for recent events.

 

[Oersted]

The internet basically killed Playboy magazine. And I'm assuming the magazine was Playboy's main source of revenue.

In this modern era, who needs to pay for a magazine subscription to see still photographs of naked women & boobs?

That changed a while ago. US Playboy dropped nudes and their mainincome is now Internet videos and licensing. The Bunny logo is on everything these days, shampoo, deos, watches etc

 

[brokenbeans]

Billionaire me would give him the full $200m and tell crusty dick to fuck off.

 

[Laekon]

I can see Trump buying it, if he wasn't running for Prez.

What? That would just make Trump even more popular with the people most likely to vote for him.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Can't the new owners, after he's death, allow nudity and sex openly?

 

[formasymphonic]

I wonder what that place looks like under a blacklight.

Like a stage from Splatoon

 

[zerotol]

Quick google says yes: http://www.vice.com/read/i-went-to-the-playboy-mansion-and-it-was-kinda-depressing

Holy crap. Wasn't expecting it to look that bad.

 

[Lucreto]

If he is asking for $200 million I hope it includes all the house contents not just the land and building.

If it was me I would just sell off everything in the house as I expect some still see the mansion as a mystical place and want to own some part of it.

You could charge $10k for Hefs bed and someone will buy it.
