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 since then has escalated into one the most read magazines in the world.
             Hugh Hefner was born on April 9, 1926, in Chicago, Illinois to conservative Protestant parents Glenn and Grace Hefner. Although not living in a Hollywood mansion (the West Side of Chicago), his house was usually filled with kids and Hugh was entertaining them. As a child, he attended Sayre Elementary School and Steinmetz High in Chicago. He was not a gifted student, just your average scholar who was just getting by in school. Hefner, however, possessed an IQ that was not so ordinary, a high 152. He instead individualized himself instead with his extracurricular activities, which included starting a school paper, writing, drawing animation, and serving as president of the student council.
