from www.nydailynews.com – Playboy founder Hugh Hefner’s lifestyle is legendary. He’s rarely without a busty blond on his arm. He throws crazy parties that Hollywood’s elite vie to attend. He lives in a swanky mansion complete with a world-famous grotto, theater and more. And all this at the ripe old age of 81, a time when many men would be long retired.

But that lifestyle – along with a few other alleged issues – may now be getting Hef in some trouble, TMZ.com reports. The site says that a shareholder is suing the Playboy founder, claiming that Hef refuses to give up his legendary lifestyle and sell the struggling company. The suit also alleges that Hefner has sabotaged two potential deals to sell Playboy magazine.

“We think the wild card here is Hugh Hefner,” an investment company that analyzed Playboy wrote.

“If you were Hugh Hefner, 81, would you give up the parade of busty blonds, the fancy mansion and the reality TV show for a payout,” the note continued.

“Hefner has continued to live the good life and make sure everyone knows it. Hefner remains in the limelight, showing up at media events and at the Playboy mansion . . . with his girlfriends by his side.”
