Hugh Hefner’s widow left out of will
Yesterday, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner died at his LA home of natural causes.
The 91-year-old’s third wife and widow, Crystal Harris, is expected to inherit nothing from the entrepreneur’s $51 million will.
It is believed that Harris signed a prenuptial agreement and is thought to have never been added to Hefner’s will.
However, Us Weekly has reported that the 31-year-old model will be “looked after” following his death.
Harris and Hefner married at the Playboy Mansion in 2012 when he was 86 and she was 26.
Playboy announced no immediate funeral plans but Hefner is expected to be buried in a plot in a Los Angeles cemetery next to Marilyn Monroe.
Reportedly, Hefner payed $100,000 for the plot next to the iconic actress 25 years ago.
Hefner ran naked photos of Monroe in the first issue of Playboy in 1953 but the pair never met as the photos were taken years earlier.
Celebrities have paid tribute to Hefner after his passing was announced.
Pamela Anderson, who featured on the cover of Playboy more than any other person, wrote a message to Hefner on Instagram accompanied with her a video of her crying.
“Outside of my family you were the most important person in my life,” she wrote.
“You taught me everything important about freedom and respect.”
“People tell me all the time that I was your favourite,” she wrote. “You had a piece of paper in your pocket you showed me – with my name Pamela with a heart around it.”
Hefner’s son Cooper remembered his father as a “leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time”.
“My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer,” he said.
“He defined a lifestyle and ethos that lie at the heart of the Playboy brand.”
Hefner first married Mildred Williams in 1949 and the couple had Christie, 64, and David, 62.
He spent three decades as a bachelor and then married Kimberley Conrad. The couple had two sons together, Marston and Cooper.
Hefner split with Conrad in 2010 and later that year he announced his engagement to Harris.
