The legendary creator of PLAYBOY magazine and businessman Hugh Hefner, decided that it was time to take care of his mansion in which he lived and worked for a long time. This is a huge house with 29 bedrooms in Los Angeles. It was in it was the editorial office of the magazine for men, Hugh's studio and housing for models that worked in the publication.
The mansion was sold for a fabulous amount
This house was put up for sale in February, but almost immediately a buyer found it. The last 3 months the parties discussed 2 conditions: the price and the possibility of living Hefner in this mansion until his death. 32-year-old millionaire Daren Metropulos, who signed an agreement to buy the estate the day before yesterday, almost immediately agreed to a second condition, while the sale price was discussed for more than a month. According to the young millionaire, however, like many experts, the value of the property put up for sale was too high. As for insider trading, Daren started out altogether with 20 million, because most of the house needs major repairs, but the parties agreed on 200 million dollars, although Metropoulos, like Hefner, refused to name the amount of the contract.
On the website of Playboy Enterprises one of these days there was such message:
"We confirm that the Playboy Mansion was sold to Darren Metropoulos. Such data as the amount of the transaction, its terms, etc. The company will not disclose, because this is confidential information. "
In addition, Scott Flanders, one of the leading managers of Playboy Enterprises, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal commented on this deal:
"This is a great time for this luxury real estate with a great history to find a new owner. It is very important for us that the person who bought this house appreciated and respected its history and traditions. Under the contract, which was signed, the mansion should preserve the business center of Hefner and many other unique things of its kind. The legacy of Playboy Mansion goes far beyond its fame. It is an honor for me to serve this mansion. "Read also
