Founded the world's best-selling adult magazine and sat on hundreds of millions of mansions; In his own mansion, wearing pajamas and hugging countless bunny girls left and right, over 80 years old, he also married his wife who was 60 years younger.....
Success, beauty, and a merry life are every man's dream.
He was the founder of Playboy, Hugh Hefner.
In fact, before the 1950s, the concept of sexuality in the United States was still very conservative, whether it was a family or an individual, they were more willing to invest energy and money into production to create more capital.
There is not so much investment in personal pastimes and entertainment.
At that time, the United States was not as sexually open as it is now, and it was not until the middle of the last century that the liberation movement gradually began.
In the 1970s, sexual freedom triumphed over traditional American conservative thinking.
The most important protagonists of this revolution are PlayBoy and its founder, Hugh Hefner.
Hugh Hefner was born in 1926 in Chicago, Illinois, just before the fifties, and of course learned that Americans were conservative in their thinking at that time, as were Hefner's parents.
Hefner's parents were Puritans, very ascetic and would not make intimate gestures in front of him.
Let him not appreciate the beauty of asking his family for kisses, hugs, and goodnight before going to bed.
All of this made him feel no warmth in this home.
While the other children were playing in the fields, Hefner liked to research something interesting, plastering the room with pictorials of beautiful women...
Although he met his beloved girl Mildred in high school, Hefner was very conservative under the influence of his parents.
In a later interview, he confessed:
"I couldn't even 'hit an airplane' at the time..."
After graduating from high school, Hefner enlisted in the Army in World War II, worked as a journalist in the war field, and worked as a teacher at his girlfriend's school.
1949 was already the fifth year after the end of World War II, but Hefner and Mildred entered the halls of marriage.
But when he accidentally learns that his beloved wife has sex with other men during his service,
All good is shattered.
At this time, Hefner, who was married and had children, was still working as a cartoonist for magazines, but he had always wanted to fight against the repression of family culture through cartoons.
"We should redefine the meaning of juvenile, juvenile should not be constrained, but live a life of pursuing dreams"
Later, because of salary problems, he had a conflict with the company and was fired, which seemed to give Hefner a rare opportunity.
Seeing that men's magazines at that time were mostly boring content such as hunting and fishing, Hefner had a bold idea.
In 1953, at the age of 27, Hefner broke the shackles of life and prepared to start his own business.
That fall, Hefner borrowed $8,000 from friends and family to start his business.
He first bought the copyright to the semi-nude photos of popular star Marilyn Monroe for $500 and published them in the first issue of Playboy magazine.
Originally I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect that more than 50,000 copies were sold at once, which can be described as a great success.
At that time, people still did not come out of the haze of World War II, and Playboy was loved by a large number of male readers with its novel angles and themes, as well as sexy pictures.
Hefner designed the famous "Bunny Girl" trademark for his magazine, which was later able to set a record of selling more than 7 million copies in a single issue, and the value of the issue number was even more than ten thousand US dollars.
When "Playboy" became a hit, it was not limited to "sex", it touched on clothing, shoes and bags and other fields, which can be called "entertainment empire".
Interviews with famous people are also very popular, with billionaires, politicians, and models rushing to get on the cover of magazines, and Martin Luther King, Stephen Hawking, Ali, Bill Gates, Jobs, Trump and others have become interviews.
In 1959, at the age of 33, Hefner ended his first marriage, got rid of the shackles of marriage, and also earned a lot of money, and Hefner began a life of affair.
A year later, Hefner founded the popular Playboy Club in Chicago, where waitresses wore satin uniforms and tied a lump of cotton around their hips.
This is a symbol of American culture, the "Bunny Girl".
Later, at the end of Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard, Hefner bought a 6-acre "Playboy Palace."
This palace is a man's paradise.
Nearly a thousand bunny girls live here for a long time, not only top beauty models, sports stars, but also many Hollywood big stars.
They held receptions day and night here, indulging in fun, but this was only one of Hefner's mansions.
In the 1980s, Hefner transformed two floors into a sky villa at the Las Vegas Palms Hotel and Casino, as well as a unique sky pool.
In this luxurious "Sky Villa", each suite has a spacious living room, dining room and various entertainment areas, which can be charged up to ten thousand US dollars a night.
Tired of playing with the villa in the air on the ground, Hefner felt that he was not enjoyable enough, and he still had to go to the sky to play.
Hefner bought an extremely expensive private jet, known as the "Big Rabbit."
The plane is painted in high-grade black, printed with a huge playboy "rabbit head" logo, the appearance is luxurious and full of mystery, and the more luxurious is of course the interior of the plane.
Bars, KTV, dance halls, cinemas are all available, and of course, the beautiful and sexy bunny girls are the top features of this plane.
It's a nightclub in the air, but mansions, villas, and airplanes are nothing in Hefner's life.
He still loves the rabbit girls the most in the world.
As the founder of the world's most famous sex magazine "Playboy", Hefner did not lack beauty in his life.
He is said to have had relationships with more than 2,000 women, but Hefner soon reached the age of fifty and his physical functioning deteriorated very badly.
An overly extravagant life completely hollowed out Hefner's body, and for a time he had to rely on drugs to support himself.
By 1985, 59-year-old Hefner had suffered a stroke and was hospitalized after eating too many tonics.
After recovering from his illness, Hefner felt that he could no longer live like this, and after thinking about life, he decided to make a change.
In 1989, Hefner married Kimberly Conrad, a 27-year-old Playboy of the Year, and had two sons before returning to family life.
When everyone thought that the merry boy was going to accept his heart, Hefner divorced again and threw himself back into the arms of the bunny girls.
The 80-year-old Hefner has lost half of his hearing, yet he believes that eighty is a middle-aged man, and as long as the spirit is not old, young and energetic, the merry life continues again.
Two years later, The Life of Hefner and Three Beautiful Girls made it into the reality show "The Girl Next Door," in which he said that "being with young people makes me young."
When Beijing hosts the Olympics in 2008, the first time in the mainland capital's history that it has opened up to the world, Playboy magazine will also be allowed to sell in Beijing.
At the age of 86, Hefner wanted to marry again, and he married his third wife.
In fact, a few years ago, Hefner was attracted to Harris, and the day after the party, Harris stayed in Hefner's luxury villa.
The intervening years went through all sorts of things, and finally at the end of 2012, the 86-year-old Hefner married 26-year-old Harris, a sixty-year-old two, showing off his love in public.
Later, the two miraculously gave birth to two children.
Playboy Hefner is about to turn 90 years old and is starting to become frail and sickly, and his body can no longer withstand the toss.
Lying in the villa, the number of nurses around gradually surpassed that of bunny girls, which was no longer a paradise for men, but more like a nursing home.
The land of the wind and moon is no longer there, leaving only a dull and slow life.
Such an aging Hefner has lost the passion of his youth, and the life of the bunny girls is becoming more and more boring.
It wasn't until 2016, when Hefner sold his Los Angeles Playboy Mansion to a neighbor, that he probably realized he was running out of time.
In 2017, the 91-year-old Hefner was ready for the aftermath.
Back in 1992, Hefner bought a cemetery in Los Angeles for $750 million next to the sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe.
On September 27, 2017, Hugh Hefner lay down next to Marilyn Monroe as she wished.
After death, he was buried next to Monroe, although the two did not have much intersection, whether it was out of regret or respect in life.
In short, without marilyn Monroe and the $500 copyright, Hefner's life would have been different.
In January of this year, the trailer for the documentary "Playboy's Secret" was released, and Playboy Said it had drawn a line with founder Hefner:
"The Hefner family is no longer associated with Playboy, and today's Playboy is not Hefner's Playboy"
Hugh Hefner said, "Life is too short to live in someone else's dream," and he really didn't live in someone else's dream, he lived in someone else's dream.
