The Playboy Mansion just got sold. Find out who the lucky buyer is!

The most famous party den in the world has been sold. Hugh Hefner has found a buyer for the Playboy Mansion in his next door neighbor Daren Metropoulos, a billionaire private equity banker.

According to a report by The Telegraph UK, the nearly 20,000-square-foot mansion, which sits on five acres in Los Angeles’ Holmby Hills, has been sold for a “9-digit” sum, according to the Wall Street Journal.

(In)famous for its hedonistic parties and bunny girls, the 29-room mansion has been on the market since January and is valued at US$200 million.

Hefner had added the unusual proviso that the buyer would have to let him live there for the rest of his life - and leave the famous Hefner bedroom untouched until after his death.

Metropoulos is said to have agreed to the conditions and has said in a statement that he was keen to preserve the 1927 mansion’s historic architecture.
