The Rumors Weren’t True—Playboy Mansion Has Indeed Sold For $100M
It was rumored the Playboy Mansion’s $110M sale was called off earlier this month, but that was mere speculation.
Turns out the estate went for half its $200M listing price, trading hands for $100M instead of the reported $110M. The 20k SF property sold to Daren Metropoulos, co-owner of the Hostess Brand and owner of the property next door to the mansion.
It was speculated Hugh Hefner had called the deal off earlier this month following a disagreement about privacy. Daren reportedly wanted to start renovations right away, but that idea did not sit well with Hef, who reportedly felt it would infringe on his life. TMZ had reported the two had been unable to reach an agreement and the house was put back on the market.
But a release from Daren confirmed the sale, Curbed reports, making it the second-most-expensive Los Angeles County property sold to date, following the sale of Fleur de Lys in Holmby Hills for $102M. [Curbed]
