Hugh Hefner files for divorce in LA



September 9, 2009

LOS ANGELES-After more than a decade of separation, Hugh Hefner is filing for divorce from his wife and former Playmate, Kimberly.

Court records in Los Angeles show Hefner filed for divorce on Friday. He is asking a judge to order him to pay Kimberly Conrad Hefner $20,000 a month in spousal support. The records state that’s half of the $40,000 a month that the Playboy founder has been paying her since they separated in 1998.

The couple was married in 1989, the same year Kimberly Hefner was named Playmate of the Year.

She sued Hefner last month, claiming he owes her $4 million under their prenuptial agreement and for proceeds from the sale of home she is living in.

Hefner states in court filings that he has paid almost $12 million to his wife and for her home since their separation.

go hef!

Now I wonder what on earth came between two such dedicated people. Certainly could not have been infidelity, outside influences, lack of morals, lack of focus on one another.

at the Playboy Mansion?

nahhhhhhhhhh

Per year she was paid 480,000.

12 X 40,000

How much do you think H. Hefner makes per yr??? I really have no idea.

He disclosed his monthly earnings an expenditures with the divorce papers. Only reason he's finally divorcin her is so that he doesn't have to pay so much to her. I seriously don't understand why men across the globe idolize this man. Yes, he's got lots of money. Yes, he's got beautiful women around him constantly. But do u really think those beautiful women would honestly have anything to do with him if it wasn't for the money or their chance at fame?

Yahoo News is telling a little about it:

"According to the documents, Hefner has assets of more than $43 million, excluding Playboy stock and property, and spends about $43,000 a month on food and entertainment."

Here's how much Hugh rakes in per month:

-- Salary from Playboy: $116,667
-- Social Security: $1,896
-- Dividends and interest: $121,099
-- Rental property: $17,058
-- Income from HMH Productions: $15,808
-- Pensions and retirement: $413
-- Other miscellaneous income: $17,639

--Total monthly income: $290,580

In addition, Hugh has the following assets:

-- $306,548 in cash
-- $36,802,558 in stocks and bonds (besides Playboy)
-- $6,122,990 in a joint account with an unnamed person

-- Total assets (excluding Playboy stock and property): $43,232,096

And here's how Hugh spends his millions per month:

-- Rent (including groceries, household supplies, utilities, cell phone and email): $53,593

of course they wouldn't. and they are all bimbos

BUT the guy is 83 years old and lives his life in pajamas surrounded by beautiful women. He is still going

and has 43 million to play with

Hell, for $20 Grand a month, I'll divorce him to!!

Mehh, to each his own. Thankfully I ain't a bimbo cause I just don't see the attraction

but there is some kind of attraction. it cant be just all about the money. He's been that way since the 50's when he was a younger man

I honestly don't see where he's attractive an the 'player' thing is a total turn off for me but jmo

and I respect that and dont blame you

I was just saying that he must have some kind of charisma or something cause there are lots of guys who have just as much money but dont have what he has. fer instance, all the top movie stars and top atheletes are fallin over each other for invitations to the Playboy Mansion and it's been that way for fifty years

I was just reading that they are making a movie of his life and Robert Downey Jr is gonna play Hef

I can understand that he's got that old sauve thing goin, alot of men back then did. Frank, Dean, etc etc.


Robert Downey Jr is a good choice to play him in a movie. I bet he would do a fantastic job with the role. I'd go see the movie.

yeah his story is kinda interesting

he started with nothing but an idea. his first playmate was his typist

and he faced lots of opposition over obscenity laws and such

but what he did that made Playboy into an empire was to create not just a girlie mag. there were dozens of those

but he projected a image of culture and chic and all the articles and interviews reinforced that image

people like Dr Henry Kissinger and Presdident Jimmy Carter were interviewed by Playboy

nowadays internet porn has overtaken Playboy and they are consideed to be pretty tame now. But in the 70's and 80's it was a billion dollar empire

I think it's all for the attention. I would feel the ewwwww factor.

You are right. Most men would love to be in his shoes or could dream of being in his shoes at 83.

Personally I don't care how others choose to live their lives. He isn't doing anything illegal and if he and his females are happy, why would it be my business to impose my morality on him, it isn't.


I say if he dies happy and satisfied with his life then he has accomplished what we all should be striving for.

I used to read Playboy myself. Naked women don't bother me at all so I would actually read the articles. I might have been the only one doing it for real....lol
