  • Kanuhduh, on 03/13/2009, -4/+108Hmm... $28,000,000...

    $27,995,000 for the Mansion,
    $5,000 for some good binoculars.
  • eastwood24, on 03/13/2009, -2/+75Oh rats, im only pre-qualified to take out a $25,000,000 mortgage loan. Oh screw it. I'm just going to lie about my income on my next application. It's worth living next door to the Playboy Mansion.
  • jon31rm, on 03/14/2009, -5/+71FAQ: Does the carpet match the drapes?
  • agentsrecord, on 03/13/2009, -3/+66WTF? His 2 teenage sons wanted to live next door to the Playboy mansion with their mother?
  • MGrizam, on 03/14/2009, -4/+60did ANYONE read the article... he's not selling HIS place... ugh
  • inactive, on 03/13/2009, -1/+29Larry Flynt is the king of smut. get it right.
  • inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+26Power user fails at comedy.
  • inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+25If his second mansion adjacent to the PB Mansion is worth 28 mil, imagine how much the actual PlayBoy Mansion is worth.
  • Retnuh730, on 03/14/2009, -2/+25The funny thing about this is that his daughter's actually the CEO of playboy enterprises. Tell me that isnt several levels of creepy right there.

    er- or was, she stepped down January 31st.
  • PunkFenixJT, on 03/14/2009, -0/+22How many people read digg?

    Come on, everyone chip in a dollar and lets make the Digg Mansion!
  • boots73, on 03/14/2009, -1/+20Yeah, not the Playboy mansion, the one adjacent to it...
  • kefkaantakrist, on 03/14/2009, -0/+18Ha! Kevin Rose wishes Digg had 28 million unique users!

    (will feel stupid if digg actually does have 28 million unique users)
  • UtahApocalyse, on 03/14/2009, -1/+19it is HIS place as in he owns it. But, NO, it is not the "Playboy" Mansion.
  • TheVirus, on 03/14/2009, -0/+15No, they ripped the carpet out.
  • doctressjulia, on 03/14/2009, -0/+9I think the guy from Girls Gone Wild will be spending considerable time in prison, actually. :D
  • sdphost, on 03/15/2009, -0/+8People pay for porn?
  • TriplePlay2425, on 03/14/2009, -1/+8I am yet to see a remotely decent joke in any of the comments here... they all suck.

    Actually, the binoculars one was OK. That's about it.
  • TriplePlay2425, on 03/14/2009, -0/+7Considering the prestige of owning it and all the history behind it, I'm sure it could sell for more than it's worth.
  • chops76, on 03/14/2009, -0/+7And boom goes the dynamite.
  • shiftkgb, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6Or because it generates good income, its not like he has a mortgage on the place....
  • extratired, on 03/14/2009, -1/+7Grab a dictionary and look up the word "adjacent". The description was correct and unambigious.
  • mycoplasma, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6Without "The Girls Next door", our only source of entertainment would be to literally watch the girls next door!
  • capnawesome, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6yeah, if he was, then this might be news-worthy.
  • ninzo09, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6knowing you will never have to pay for porn again...
    priceless
  • greenlight2001, on 03/14/2009, -3/+8I don't know why you'd want to know this, but I'm sure Heff's pubes are gray, just like is hair on this head.

    You're a strange one.
  • whxre, on 03/14/2009, -0/+5Don't quit your day job..
  • UtahApocalyse, on 03/14/2009, -1/+6That would then be the most awesome street in the country!!
  • positron, on 03/15/2009, -1/+6Hefner was never about smut. Quite the opposite in fact. Playboy is about a masculine sense of class and sophistication, the tasteful celebration of feminine beauty, and a rejection of puritan hypocrisy regarding human sexuality.
  • MrPingu, on 03/14/2009, -1/+6Yes, but not the upholstery.
  • TriplePlay2425, on 03/14/2009, -0/+5Well, yes. But I mean it would sell for more than what the house would sell for if it was owned by an "average millionaire". If some guy that you've never heard of just made a fortune in the stock market or in a successful business owned it then sold it, it probably would sell for less than it would sell for as it is today, being the famous/infamous Playboy Mansion owned by Hugh Hefner.

    What I meant by "what it's worth" is what just the building itself is worth, not the building including the history and prestige behind it.

    Hopefully you understand what I mean.
  • Jones82, on 03/14/2009, -0/+4This must be buried, quickly
  • mrogi, on 03/14/2009, -0/+4Hefner is living proof there is no such thing as Democrat or Republican. No such thing as Conservative or Liberal. There is only the Rich and those who aint.
  • solid12345, on 03/14/2009, -4/+8Don't worry Barney Frank and Obama will loan you a non-repayable 24 million tax credit for it if you can just pay back the last 1 million over a 30 year period!
  • inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+4more like $10






    i'm in.
  • vipero00, on 03/15/2009, -0/+3Are you crazy, it the internet that's killing playboy. Before you had to buy a magazine now all you do is log onto youporn or redtube. Hell even Wikipedia helps you find porn. An if you want hookers goto craigslist. Jezzzz the economics of Europeans and Asians has nothing to do with playboys decline.
  • rampage88, on 03/16/2009, -0/+3Hope they turn it into a museum. Probably the only way i will see it.
  • Daxx22, on 03/14/2009, -1/+4Hey, at least it's his SON's looking up to/be like his father. If it was daughters...
  • PeanutCheeseBar, on 03/14/2009, -7/+10Buried as HuffPo spam.
  • mpopek, on 03/14/2009, -2/+5Hugh Heffner's sons have been teenagers since the late 1990s?
  • jake1337, on 03/16/2009, -0/+3No, no they are not.
  • kefkaantakrist, on 03/14/2009, -3/+6I would argue that whatever it sold for on the open market is what it is worth.
  • mugicha, on 03/14/2009, -0/+3I know. I was really hoping for some better ones. It's funny how sometimes the most innocuous article can have some hilarious comments, but then people strike out on an article like this which seems so easy to make fun of.
  • DRT23, on 03/14/2009, -2/+5tl;dr

    buried
  • jake1337, on 03/16/2009, -0/+2Dugg for the word innocuous.
  • MGrizam, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2yes i differenciated between his and places he owns, technically blahblah
  • TriplePlay2425, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2Indeed. How disappointing.
  • rampage88, on 03/16/2009, -0/+2Timeshare?
  • twiztidsinz, on 03/14/2009, -5/+6I wouldn't buy that house...
    I hear the neighbors always have loud parties.



    (does this really need a /sacasm?)
  • BigSusan, on 03/14/2009, -0/+1Miss March must have been pretty bad
  • ChinezePanda, on 03/14/2009, -1/+2Be sure to bring a black light in there and be sure to strip the carpet and put down hardwood floors..

    God only knows what is soaked into all the fabric surfaces in that joint.
