M$1.00  Funded By Mahalo ? |  March 13, 2009 10:20 PM

Hugh and Kimberly Hefner are selling their family home next to the Playboy Mansion. Would you buy it if you had the dough?

The Playboy Mansion must be the premier party house in the country. Would you want to live next door? It's only $28 million

I would definitely have no interest in this house or any house that looks like this. I far prefer more intriguing modern architecture than this style.

Besides, if you spend that much, wouldn't you want more privacy? Living next to the Playboy mansion must have some noise issues not to mention traffic and paparazzi.

There are many other more compelling properties available for that type of money. Also, do you really want to line the Hefner's pockets? In a down market, how can you reward someone who financed the entire house and expects to sell it for four times what they paid?

It's interesting to think of the type of customization that house must have to jack up the price. I wonder if it's tasteless or if some of it's nice. Generally these are highly customized homes tailored to someone else's wants and don't suit another buyer well without major changes.
Asker's Rating:
• Yep, if I had that kind of money, I'd go buy a villa in Tuscany!

I would take my $28 million and go elsewhere. The Hefners are rumored to have purchased the home in 1996 for under $7 million.

Probably the main attraction at the home is the neighboring property, grotto, and Playboy parties. But how much longer can Hef hang in there and party? If the parties end next year, is it still worth $28 mill.?

Heck no.
Do you think anyone living there will have any chance at any successful long-term relationship?
