Hefner actually hasn't owned the mansion since 2016, when he sold it to Daren Metropoulos, the heir to the Hostess fortune.
The mogul sold the mansion for $100 million in 2016, about 100 times the price Playboy Enterprises paid for it in 1971 ($1.1 million), with the condition that he and his third wife Crystal Harris would live there until Hefner's death, paying $1 million a year in rent.
