Following my posting on the powerball dream car and stuff page about a huge house. I just found out that the Playboy Mansion is for sale. A mere $200 million dollars and it can be yours (Hef gets to live out his days there though, so you'll always have a wingman at the party's that you'll be throwing). 20,000 square feet, 5 acres, and all the spray-tan residue in the world.
Who's in?
Remember what Ramathorn said in Super Troopers when he opened up that semi trailer with the two cops locked in there?
"Gawd it smells like sex in here"
jeebus... is it a zoning requirement that everyone in that neighborhood has to have a tennis court in their yard?
I've heard some comedian comment that the place is a kind of a E36 M3 hole. Well maybe he said it was super '70s in there, but I definitely remember the guy being very in-impressed. A facade is a facade after all.

I think it was Chris Rock who said it's like a time capsule. Not much in terms of modern updates.
It would be a shame to demolish it, as it's an iconic structure. I'd think whoever has the $200mil to buy it could put another $50mil into it to restore/update.
Then again, primo land is primo land.
I have a good friend who has been to a few parties at the Playboy Mansion. He speaks very highly of the place (paradise was the word he used) .....and no.... not every party is a wild orgy. (although pretty much everyone who attends the parties are hoping for a wild orgy)
They also have a cleaning crew that keeps the place nice. Ever go to the bathroom in an airport? You are likely much more at risk there, than you would be at the Playboy mansion.
This isn't the Hustler or Penthouse mansion......... it's classy!

Ellen is smarter than I thought.

Ellen does seem like a fun gal.
If I won the Power Ball I might have bought it to maintain it as a bit of a time capsule. I love hideous 70s excess.
In reply to Wall-e:
I would've picked it up and visited Heph frequently, gotten him drunk just to listen to the stories.

No.
Don't ever bring one to your hotel room either. Some things you're just better off not knowing.
actually, I bet old Hef keeps the place pretty clean. He has an image to uphold. He may be getting a lot of it, but he does have that "classy" image as opposed to his competition.
Besides, if you had as much money as Hef does, would you let your place get that bad?
He is asking about 4-5 times what it is probably actually worth, so is in no hurry to sell.
Back in the day, when he was dating Barb Klein, they would come to town to have dinner with her parents, Dr and Mrs Klein, who were friends of my parents. My folks took to checking the appointment book when they went out to eat, and if the Kleins had a reservation, they would go somewhere else. It is one thing to read about Hef and his 18 year old girlfriend, quite another to sit down to dinner with a 45 year old geezer and his teenager girlfriend. As one might imagine, a tad uncomfortable.

I am 45 and I am nowhere near a geezer... though I would feel like a dirty old man if I was dating an 18yo

Yeah, it wasn't too weird when he was 45 and dating 18-20 year olds. What struck me as creepy was when he was on the show "Girls Next Door" roughly ten years ago when he was 80 (!) and his girlfriends were all in their early 20s.
In the one episode I watched he went to meet a girls family and was the same age as her grandparents.
