Following the death of 91-year-old Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner yesterday, it has been revealed that his 31-year-old wife, Crystal Harris, will inherit nothing from his estimated 43 million dollar estate.
This was not a shock to Crystal Harris, who is 60 years younger than Hefner, as she signed an ironclad prenup which stated she would be left out of Hefner’s will, before their marriage which took place back in 2012.
Despite being left out the will, Hugh Hefner’s family insist the model and former Playmate of the Year will be taken care of.
All of what remains of the Playboy founder’s fortune will be divided among his four children, daughter Christie and sons, Cooper, David and Marston.
The rest of the money will be given to the University of Southern California, and various charities.
Playboy’s official Twitter page released a black and white image of Hef, penning, “American Icon and Playboy Founder, Hugh M. Hefner passed away today. He was 91.”
The photo had his iconic quote, “Life is too short to be living someone else’s dream.”
Releasing the following statement, the company shared, “Hugh M. Hefner, the American icon who in 1953 introduced the world to Playboy magazine and built the company into one of the most recognisable American global brands in history, peacefully passed away today from natural causes at his home, The Playboy Mansion, surrounded by loved ones.”
His son 26-year-old son Copper Hefner has spoken out about the passing.
“My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom,” Cooper said in a statement.
“He defined a lifestyle and ethos that lie at the heart of the Playboy brand, one of the most recognizable and enduring in history. He will be greatly missed by many, including his wife Crystal, my sister Christie and my brothers David and Marston, and all of us at Playboy Enterprises.”
