biography hugh hefner
The average American man will make forty five to sixty thousand dollars a year. This year will most likely be spent in an office located in a city full of the same average American men. These average men will work their 8-hour shift then drive home to their average wives. While this repetitiveness occurs, a man who is twice as old as most of these businesspersons, will probably be having sex. Okay, maybe I exaggerate slightly, however it is safe to guarantee that he is surrounded by beautiful women, three of which he can call his girlfriend, all of which he can call his own. These women are not average women; they are nude models, playboy bunnies. Moreover, this man is definitely not your average American man, he is Hugh Hefner, one of the most successful entrepreneurs (well, on some levels) of half a century. As he sits-or lays-around in his mansion looking down on all of the ants marching below him, he has to be smiling all day long. He smiles knowing that men are intimidated by him, envious of him, and a good majority of these men are thanking him. They thank him for giving the world Playboy magazine. A magazine which burst into the 1950’s with a jaw dropping, eye opening, controversial boom, and sinc
e then has escalated into one the most read magazines in the world. After his discharge from the service in 1946, he headed home to focus on his career. There he began taking art classes (his strong point there was anatomy of course) at the Chicago Art Institute, enrolling that fall at the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Hugh received his bachelor's degree in two and a half years by doubling up on classes. He spent all other time allotted drawing cartoons for the Daily Illinois and editing the campus humor magazine Shaft, where he initially introduced a new feature entitled "Coed of the Month". After leaving the University of Illinois, Hef began work as an assistant personnel manager for the Chicago Cartoon Company in 1949. This was also the year in which Hugh married his first wife, Millie Williams. In 1950, the newly married man began work as an advertising copywriter for the Carson, Pirie, Scott department store. In his tenure so far, Hefner has done some amazing things. He has also become known for putting on what is still considered "the greatest single weekend in the history of jazz" at the first ever Jazz Festival at Chicago Stadium. He has organized Hollywood's stars to refurbish "Hollywood's Eiffel Tower" of the Hollywood sign. Of all the accomplishments and recognition Hugh Hefner has achieved (he is the father of four and ex husband of two) it is his creation Playboy the magazine which he has gained the most notability-and millions. He is currently living in the notorious Playboy mansion and dating three of his Bunnies, two of which are twins. What I can say I learned from this paper besides the fact that I want to be Hef, is that you cannot conform to society, you have to look it in the face and laugh at it. Hugh Hefner did that and look where he is at today. He is a millionaire living in a mansion overflowing with women, dating three of them, all of his friends are famous, and his business
