Many words could be used to describe Hugh Hefner. Many have called him an icon and even a legend in his time. 

Personally, for me, I thought his whole vibe was creepy and didn't quite understand it. Sure, I get he was a successful businessman, but the whole Playboy vibe wasn't my thing.

I loved watching The Girls of The Playboy Mansion, a TV show that followed the daily happenings of life in the mansion. I, up to this day, would never be able to wrap my head around why these girls would choose to hang out and get intimate with a dressing gown-wearing grandpa. However, don't get me wrong, I'd love to have attended one of the inconceivable parties at the mansion!

Dying at the age of 91 years, I would say that the Hef has definitely had a good run. I mean imagine being surrounded by beautiful woman and having out of this world parties. Insane! It is reported that he was worth $50-million at the time of his death. EEK!

RIP Hef. Many may not have understood you, but you were indeed a legend!
