Playboy's Hugh Hefner to divorce from playmate
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is to become an official bachelor again after filing for divorce from his estranged wife.
The 83-year-old is asking for his marriage to former playmate Kimberly Conrad, 47, to be ended because the two are fueding about money.
In recent years, Hefner and his girlfriends - who have included Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt - have starred on "The Girls Next Door".
His relationship with all three has since ended and he is now living with three new women, 19-year-old twins, Karissa and Kristina Shanno and third girlfriend Crystal Harris.
"I am happy to be out of the marriage. I only remained married (to Conrad) for the sake of the children, at her request. I am happy to have this behind me," Hefner told gossip website TMZ.
Court documents gave a glimpse into the lifestyle of Hefner. According to the documents, Hefner has assets of more than $43 million, excluding Playboy stock and property, and spends about $43,000 a month on food and entertainment.
Hefner has asked for spousal support for Conrad to be set at $20,000 a month, saying he has already given his estranged wife close to $12 million since their separation 11 years ago. She is seeking more.
