(Video) Hugh Hefner Offers to Take Playboy Private, According to Reports

Hartley Engel
According to the Associated Press, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, 84, has offered to take Playboy Enterprises Inc. private. Playboy was tremendously popular and profitable during the 1970s but has been in decline lately due to a decrease in ad revenue and an increase in competition from online competitors. Below is an interesting video featuring Hugh Hefner reminiscing about the history of Playboy with some of his granddaughters. Oops! Did I say granddaughters? I meant to say girlfriends.
