Hefner worked as a copywriter for Esquire magazine. He mortgaged his furniture and raising money from investors (including his own mother) to create Playboy.

Hefner married 3 times — first to high school sweetheart Mildred Williams in 1949. His second marriage was with former Playmate of the Year Kimberly Conrad in 1989. … His third message was with Crystal Hefner in 2012.
His third marriage came 4 years after breaking up with longtime girlfriend Holly Madison. He’s survived by 4 children — Christie and David from his first marriage and Marston and Cooper from his second marriage.
