The iconic Playboy Mansion, renowned for decades of legendary parties and playmates, is set to hit the market.
The famed Beverly Hills mansion is poised to go on the market in the next month, and it won’t come cheap. Sources suggest that Playboy Enterprises intends to ask for a staggering $200 million for Hugh Hefner’s residence, as reported by TMZ. However, there’s a catch – prospective buyers won’t be able to acquire the six-acre Holmby Hills estate without accommodating the 89-year-old Hef, who is being granted permission to reside on the property he made famous until his final days.
Rumors swirl that the legendary Playboy Mansion will hit the market for a hefty $200 million within the month.
In addition to hosting its own parties, the Playboy Mansion is often rented out for movie screenings, corporate events, and charity functions. Shown here is the cocktail hour at an advanced screening of The Entourage Movie in May 2015.
The house has also been featured in numerous music videos, television shows, and movies.

Real estate sources value the house’s acreage at $60 million, in line with a similar property recently sold in the area, but believe the mansion’s history could raise the eventual selling price to $90 million.

The Playboy Mansion is famous for its legendary pool parties, where the dress code is lingerie and silk robes.
Hefner’s movie theater, where he is known to hold weekly screenings of films from his large collection, is a notable feature of the mansion.
Former Playboy bunny P.J. Masten accused Cosby of raping her in the 1970s and claimed there were 12 former bunnies who had also been ‘drugged and raped’ by the comedian, who had been friends with Hefner for years.
As the legacy of the Playboy Mansion evolves, its magazine is undergoing a revamp. Playboy Magazine will reveal its complete redesign in March, after announcing in October it would completely stop featuring pictures of naked women after more than 60 years in publication.
