Christie Hefner is famous for being the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Playboy magazine of which the worldwide edition sale exceeds 9 million copies on monthly basis. With her association with Playboy in the initial days, she was not planning to be there for a long time, but interest in the business environment has taken over her.

Hugh was the average student with very genius IQ (152). He distinguished himself with his extracurricular activities, founding a school paper, writing, cartooning and serving as president of the student council, where he championed student causes. 

Hugh was a dreamer and obsession for starting his own magazine reached its pinnacle in January 1953, for which he found a printer and a distributor. He got his friends and family to invest in the venture, raising just $8000, including $600 of his own money borrowed from a bank using his family’s furniture as collateral. The first issue came up in December 1953, and it carried no cover date because Hefner was not sure when or if he would be able to produce another. But the first issue sold more than 50,000 copies, enough to pay for the paper and printing costs and to finance another issue. And rest is all is known to you that’s the success of the Playboy magazine.   

In June Hugh married a classmate, Mildred Williams. Their marriage lasted for 10 years and Christie was born in 8^th November, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois. Christie has brother named David who was born in 1955. When Christie was two her parents were separated. She was moved to Wilmette, Illinois with her brother, when her mother remarried. There she grew up in the suburbs and graduated from New Trier High School. Though she was genius in Math she completed her major in English from Brandeis University. She completed Bachelors of Arts degree in English and American literature in 1974 and became a president in her alma mater in 1978.
