The other side of the sale plan
It seems that Playboy Mansion may hide less pleasant surprises. Indeed the price of the house is fixed at $200 million, but the property in fact doesn’t represent more than 80 or 90 million.
Playboy Mansion’s fame, its size and ideal location are the reason of such an expensive price. But the English manor is still dated from 1927 and there should be a lot of work to do to keep it in good condition. Former playmates who lived there has often talk about an old house that seems “stuck in the 80’s”, where everything seems tired and where many finishes have to be fixed.
Cherry on the cake, if you buy the Playboy Mansion, you will also have to deal with its owner! Indeed Hugh Hefner still lives in the manor and works there and he doesn’t want to leave before his death. So this incredible sale turns out to be the most expensive life lease in the world!
