At the age of 86, he married a 60-year-old tender model wife, made more than 2,000 girlfriends in his life, and even flew with 20 bunny girls. If you ask which man can live such a life, the world is probably the only one, the founder of Playboy magazine, Hefner, who has been hedonistic all his life.
However, although many people have criticized his magazine for being low-level, more people actually feel that it is a more valuable literary journal. After all, Hemingway, the author of "The Old Man and the Sea", John Lennon, the soul of the Beatles, and Ian Fleming, author of the 007 series of novels, have all published articles on it.
And playboy character interviews are also favored by world-class tycoons, such as former US President Carter, Cuban leader Castro and others have rushed to "Playboy".
So was Hefner the godfather of individual liberation, or was he really just a playboy who loved to enjoy himself?
Today we will take a look at one of the most controversial figures in the history of literature, Hefner.
In 1926, Hefner was born in an ordinary family in the United States, and the first half of his life was also relatively ordinary, reading in his own way, and after graduation, he found a job as a copywriter in a fashion magazine. During this time, Hefner attracted the attention of his wife, Millie, and the two entered the palace of marriage not long after they were together.
If the plot continues in this way, Hefner may not develop, but will always live a happy and complete life. However, in 1952, When Hefner's eldest daughter was born, in order to earn enough milk powder money, he proposed a salary increase to his boss and was rejected, so he resigned in anger and ran to a small magazine to do sales work.
The unhappiness of his career caused Hefner a lot of pressure, and it happened that during this time, Hefner found that his wife had an "ambiguous relationship" with others.
Under the double blow, Hefner's heart completely collapsed, he abandoned the principle of being a person and doing things in a down-to-earth manner, and turned into a life goal of enjoyment and the realization of the value of life surrounded by beautiful women.
So how can you enjoy it and have countless beautiful women close to you?
Obviously, this is when money is the most important. To this end, Hefner decided to use his only specialty to create an unprecedented magazine that broke with american conservative ideas, and Playboy appeared.
Compared to Howard Hughes, who has made hundreds of Hollywood girlfriends and can play any record, Hefner's life is the most dreamed of men around the world.
In order to climb to the peak of his life, Hefner made a desperate bet, first divorcing his wife, and then raising $8,000 in start-up funds through mortgages and loans.
Hefner then set his sights on Marilyn Monroe. Due to the more conservative social atmosphere in the United States at that time, actresses such as Monroe were not very popular, few people looked at it, and the copyright of the photo was relatively cheap.
So Hefner spent $500 to buy the rights to a photo of Monroe for his magazine cover and illustration.
In 1953, when the first issue of playboy magazine, which looked a little rudimentary, was officially published, Hefner was exhausted, not only spending the money but also a bunch of debts.
But there was no end to the road, and fifty-four thousand copies of the magazine, which cost 50 cents each, were sold, and Hefner managed to pay off the debt and pull a small part of the investment.
After that, Hefner was out of control and improved the magazine better and better. Hollywood beauty covers and illustrations, rigorous and in-depth interviews with famous people, high-quality famous articles, and a variety of interesting lifestyle introductions, all of which make men across the United States enjoy watching and lingering.
Not only that, but Playboy also attracted the love of high society, and Hemingway, the author of "The Old Man and the Sea", John Lennon, the soul of the Beatles, and Ian Fleming, author of the 007 series of novels, have all published articles on it.
And playboy character interviews are also favored by world-class tycoons, such as former US President Carter, Cuban leader Castro and others have rushed to "Playboy".
In less than a year, the monthly circulation reached 200,000 copies, and five years later exceeded 1 million, and Hefner became a billionaire in the United States.
However, having money is not the ultimate goal of Hefner's life, and don't forget what he founded Playboy for, he wants to become the dream of men all over the world.
According to incomplete statistics, since Hefner's success, he has made nearly 2,000 girlfriends, and the most outrageous thing is that these women do not care whether they are alone with Hefner, they are willing to share with others, which leads to Hefner wherever he goes, there are several beautiful women around him.
In Los Angeles' 6-acre luxurious palace, Hefner would play hide-and-seek with them in their nightgowns, and in the Sky Villa at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, Hefner built a private pool to play with beautiful women in the water overlooking the city at night.
Some people may ask, Hefner's private life is so indulgent and chaotic, not afraid of bad reputation?
That's where he's best, and almost all the women who've been with Hefner haven't said a word bad about him. On the one hand, because he is really handsome, after all, it is indeed a minority to look so mental in his 80s, and on the other hand, he is really too rich, money can indeed solve 99% of the world's problems, and the remaining 1% is because there is not enough money.
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg of Hefner's extravagant life, and the most incredible thing about him is that he married a 26-year-old wife at the age of 86.
After a long period of indulgence, Hefner's body was depleted much faster than the average person, so he only decided to improve his life, which was to find a tender model to marry.
In 2012, Hefner and Harris, 60 years younger than him, entered the palace of marriage. Regardless of age, just by looking at Harris's appearance and figure, you can probably understand how attractive Hefner really is.
After marriage, the two also miraculously gave birth to two children, frequently attended variety shows and loved, and were happy and leisurely like gods.
However, the prodigal son of Hefner finally failed to live with his wife for a long time, and he drove the crane west at the age of 91, and a generation of "old naughty boys" came to an end.
However, Hefner was one last wayward before his death. He bought the cemetery next to the cemetery of the "national goddess" Marilyn Monroe, and said that he would be buried next to Monroe after his death, and would be accompanied by beautiful women underground.
Of course, this is not only because he loves Monroe, but also because his success is due to Monroe, if he did not spend $500 to buy her photo, how could Hefner live so well in the second half of his life?
