has 2,000 girlfriends, has been married 3 times, and has to be with Monroe to deathThere is a saying that the secret to success is to live the life you want. But it's easier said than done. However, there are always people in this world who can do it, like Hugh Hefner. He is not ordinary"**, but with a magazine, he lives an enviable life.
But Hefner himself said he was just a speculator. If it weren't for Monroe's **, he might still be standing still. In 1953, Hefner was unemployed, but he didn't give up, borrowed 8,000 yuan, and was ready to make a big move. You know what? He actually bought Monroe's ** for $500, and then founded ** magazine! This courage is really admirable.
He borrowed an old-fashioned printer, drew a few pictures, and printed 50,000 magazines. And guess what? Overnight, all those magazines were sold out! Monroe made Hefner famous overnight, and Hefner made Monroe popular all over the United States. Since then, Hefner has become a men's icon, and his magazines have become men's favorites.
But in fact, Hefner's success did not happen overnight. Before starting the magazine, he was a good man with a happy family and a successful career. But the reality is always cruel, his wife betrays him, and his life is in trouble. It was in this situation that he chose to start a business and chose to go his own way.
Since then, Hefner has seemed to be a different person. His office is full of beds, his planes are designed with beds, and he is always surrounded by hordes of beautiful women. Some say he had more than 2,000 women in his lifetime, but who knows? For him, the numbers don't matter anymore.
Some people say Hefner went too far, but that's how he lived. He knows what he wants, he lives to his liking, and lives with ease. His magazine also became a portrayal of his life, allowing men to find their own world.
Under his leadership, * became a popular magazine in the United States. Soldiers, street people, magnates are crazy about it. His rabbit logo is ubiquitous, on airplanes, on club walls, and even in personal safes. It's all thanks to his 7 million copies a year, and he enjoys that success and joy.
However, there are always ups and downs in life. The 63-year-old Hefner suddenly suffered a stroke, and he began to fear losing this wonderful life. So, he quickly adjusted his state and married a bunny girl and went home. This is his family life for a long time! But love was no longer new to him, and he and his second wife soon divorced.
Still, Hefner was obsessed with his way of life. He said that he will always be young, even at the age of seventy or eighty, he still insists on male dignity and plays the role of a young man. At the age of 86, he suddenly realized his age and married a woman who was a child younger than him. Is this a sign of youth or an old age? No one can tell.
But one thing is certain: Hefner never really returned to everyday life. He pursues passion and eternal romance. So on his 80th birthday, he announced that he had chosen a cemetery to be buried next to Monroe's grave. Because in his opinion, this is romance. His three marriages turned out to be just for the pursuit of romance! It's ironic to recall the rigidity and traditional upbringing of his family of origin.
In 2017, at the age of 91, Hefner died. His will is very clear: "I will be buried next to Monroe, she is one of the women I admire the most." Only then did people find out that he had bought a cemetery plot next to Monroe's grave as early as 1992 for only 7$50,000. It seems that he had expected that the cemetery would be worth millions of dollars!
Now we know why Hefner chose the cemetery next to Monroe. What he wants is to have romance for the rest of his life, and he has always lived according to his preferences. He lived a chic and comfortable life, and this life was worth it. In his own way, he proved that only by living the life you want is true success.
