Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, known for his groundbreaking men’s magazine and building a business empire around his libertine lifestyle, died on Wednesday at the age of 91, Playboy Enterprises said.
According to MailOnline, he died of natural causes in the Playboy Mansion, Playboy Enterprises said. He sold the home for $100 million in 2016, but under the condition that he could still live there. He will be buried in a Los Angeles cemetery plot next to Marilyn Monroe’s grave. He bought the plot in 1992 for $75,000.
In the final years of his life, he rarely made public appearances and was seen using a walker. His son, Marston Hefner, 27, shared a photo of him in 2017 playing backgammon.
