According to divorce paperwork filed in September 2009, Hugh Hefner estimates his own net worth at $43 million. He recently filed for divorce from his wife whom he has not lived with in over a decade. His net worth has taken a pretty heavy hit as Playboy’s stock has lost over 80% of its value. Interestingly, most people assume Hugh himself actually owns the famous Playboy mansion, but in fact he does not. Playboy owns the house and Hugh pays an annual rent to cover his expenses (including his girlfriend’s). Here is how he breaks down his own finances in a recent court filing:

Monthly income:

– Salary from Playboy: $116,667

– Social Security: $1,896

– Dividends and interest: $121,099

– Rental property: $17,058

– Income from HMH Productions: $15,808

– Pensions and retirement: $413

– Other miscellaneous income: $17,639

–Total monthly income: $290,580

Other Assets:

– $306,548 in cash

– $36,802,558 in stocks and bonds

– $6,122,990 in a joint account with an unnamed person

– Total assets (including Playboy stock and property): $43,232,096

And here’s how Hugh spends his millions per month:

– Rent (including groceries, household supplies, utilities, cell phone and email): $53,593

– Food (approximate): $18,000

– Entertainment: $25,000

– College expenses for kids: $10,130
