The Playboy Mansion, the home of Hugh Hefner and the setting of wild parties with celebrities and centerfolds, is for sale. The price tag: $200 million.
The roughly 20,000-square-foot (1,900-square-meter) Los Angeles property, which Hefner bought for $1.05 million in 1971, includes a 29-room mansion with a catering kitchen, wine cellar, home theater, gym, tennis court and swimming pool with a cave-like grotto. It is also one of the few private residences in Los Angeles with a zoo license, according to a statement from Playboy Enterprises Inc., which owns the property and leases it back to Hefner.
