The mansion has sold … no not the Playboy one, but close, it is the one next door. Last March the LA Times reported the house next door to Hef’s, which he happens to own was up for sale. The asking price at the time was almost $28 million. Well tonight Hugh Hefner tweeted that the house has sold. Although no price was disclosed in his tweet, no doubt it went for a pretty penny, however I suspect not quite as much as he and his estranged wife Kimberly had wanted.
Here is the listing the agents selling the home had for it. They sold the house in under 6 months and in today’s economy that is really saying something.
