Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner needs no introduction, nor does his home, the Playboy Mansion. Unfortunately, the mansion is in the process of being sold. But what if those walls could talk? Well, maybe some would be glad that they don’t. While he started as a copywriter for Esquire magazine in the 1950’s, Hugh Hefner made a fortune from his Playboy empire and was at one time worth over $200 million. Today, his net worth is closer to $50 million and he has a monthly income of approximately $300,000. Hugh Hefner is still very active as a businessman and has even done voice overs and cameos as himself in TV shows and movies. He invests heavily in rental property and owns HMH Productions and HMH Publishing. He even has his own star on the Walk of Fame (1980). Hugh Hefner is head of the Hugh M Hefner Foundation which supports civil rights and liberties. These days, he limits his passions to luxury cars, including Cadillacs, Porsches and BMWs.
