Iconic Playboy Mansion has hit the market with a list price of $200 million, making it the most expensive home currently for sale in the U.S. But, new owner will have to allow the mansion’s famous resident – 89-year-old Hugh Hefner – to continue renting the house until his death. Yes, that’s the deal, since it will be structured as a “living estate.”
