| Who Owns The Playboy Mansion In Chicago Now |
The Hefner Era is Over
Let's get one thing straight: Hugh Hefner, the original mansion maestro, is sadly no longer with us. The man who turned pajamas into a power suit and made bunny ears a global phenomenon has swapped his silk sheets for celestial ones. RIP, Hef. You'll be missed, mostly for the legendary parties.
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
Enter the Metropoulos Dynasty
Now, the crown jewel of Chicago's party scene (or at least, what's left of it) belongs to the Metropoulos family. Yeah, you know, those folks who own Hostess Twinkies. Who knew the king of spongy cakes had a taste for mansions?
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Daren Metropoulos, the son of billionaire investor Dean Metropoulos, is the lucky dude who snapped up the Playboy Mansion in 2016. For a cool hundred million dollars, no less. We can only imagine the bidding war was a scene straight out of a reality TV show.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.

Mansion Makeover
But don’t picture Daren as some dude in a silk robe, surrounded by a harem of models. Nope, he's got bigger plans. The mansion is undergoing a serious makeover. Gone are the grotto, the infamous circular bed, and probably the ghost of a bunny or two. In their place? Luxury condos, folks. Yep, you heard that right. You can now own a piece of Playboy history, complete with a hefty price tag and probably some weird echoes.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
The End of an Era (or is it?)
While the party days of the Playboy Mansion are officially over, the legend lives on. The mansion, in its new condo form, is still a hot ticket for those with deep pockets and a penchant for the extraordinary. And who knows? Maybe one of those condos will become the new party central. We can dream, can't we?
How to...
- How to become a billionaire? Win the lottery, inherit a fortune, or invent the next big thing.
- How to buy a Playboy Mansion condo? Have a really, really big bank account.
- How to throw a party like Hefner? Well, we can't help you with that. But hiring a lot of bunnies and stocking up on champagne is a good start.
- How to live forever? Science is working on it, but for now, just enjoy the ride.
- How to get invited to a party at the Playboy Mansion (condos)? Be rich, famous, or really, really lucky.
