The Playboy Mansion property, often used as a virtual nightclub, was originally listed for $200 million.
“For the last 45 years, Mr. Hefner has imbued the estate with a rich and storied legacy”, he added. Both properties were owned by department store heir Arthur Letts Jr.
Gary Gold and Drew Fenton of Hilton & Hyland had the listing, along with Mauricio Umansky of The Agency. In 2009, he acquired the sister house next door, which was built in 1929, two years after the Playboy Mansion.
“I look forward to…enjoying this handsome property as my private residence for years to come”, he added in the statement.

When Dean Metropoulos and Apollo Global Management took over, they took no responsibility for the pension mess, leaving the United States taxpayer to help those workers out, and went on to crush the unions to make their newest corporate prize more attractive for flipping to other investors. Metropoulos also served as the co-chief executive of Pabst Brewing Co., a former investment of the private equity firm.
