Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy Enterprises, has died of natural causes at the age of 91 in his home, the famed Playboy Mansion, in Beverly Hills, according to a statement from Playboy Enterprises. Its first issue sold out, and the magazine was soon widely read by grown men and sneaky teenage boys, alike. At the center of it all was Hefner, a larger-than-life personality—and a playboy, himself. Known for hosting lavish parties and dating a slew of younger, beautiful women, Hefner, often clad in silk pajamas, touted sexual freedom. This decadence is best reflected in the Playboy Mansion, a 29-room estate with a zoo, the infamous grotto, Hefner's extra-large round bed and, it seems, an ever-present group of scantily-clad women.
