In a never-before-published thank-you letter from ‘Playboy’ founder Hugh Hefner to his parents, the media mogul reveals that he received 1,000 dollars from his mother in seed money in 1953, to begin his magazine.
The letter appears in Biondi Publishing’s “Playboy Cover to Cover: The ’50s,” which chronicles the magazine’s early years.
The letter reads:
“(Your generosity came) with the knowledge that much of the magazine will not be material that you fully, personally approve of,” the New York Daily News quoted him as writing in the letter.
Hefner revealed later that his investment also proved beneficial for his own parents saying, “My father lost his job as the CPA for an aluminium corporation, so he came to work for me as an accountant and then as a treasurer of the company”.
