    Hef files for divorce

    If those two kids couldn't make it, what hope is there for the rest of us?

    Separated 11 years, forgot that he was married to her.

    Should be interesting to see how this works out. It would be nice to see what the prenup says. Of course the most interesting thing I took out of the article is that Hef, the media mogul that he is, is somehow "only" worth $43 million. I would have guessed about 10x that at least, but I guess the naked lady industry isn't what it was.

    I bet lots of creative accounting is involved in reaching that relatively paltry sum.

    Hell, the Playboy Mansion and grounds is probably worth that much alone.

    I think the $43M was only in assets, which didn't include any of his stock options and what not.

    Yeah, pretty hard to put a value on the "what not".

    I think playboy and its stock price have been hit hard. I also heard somewhere that Hef may have to sell the mansion, I have no idea how credible that is. But I did read somewhere that Hef has had to cut down on the parties at the mansion because of financial concerns.

    I read a while back that he was looking sell off part of his empire. It's just too easy to see naked women for free now as opposed to 50 years ago.

    It's my understanding that in the world of divorce law, all of that gets taken into account. While a stock option is merely an option to buy, it still has value and can be bought or sold.

    My guess is that a lot of what we might consider "his" assets might actually be owned by Playboy Enterprises. It might be interesting to see if the Playboy Mansion is owned by Hef or Playboy Enterprises, which then "allows" Hef to live there as condition of his employment as Editor-in-Chief.

    Maybe the women were the ones pressing marriage? Women due tend to want more stability in their lives then men. Of course, why any of them would want to marry a philander like Hef is beyond me. Unless it's all about the recognition and M-O-N-E-Y.
