There are lots of benefits to being married to Hugh Hefner. One is that he's rich. Another is that you are automatically invited to, like, the best parties ever. And a third is that he'll die way before you, if you're into that sort of thing.
Per that whole death thing, Hef has now somewhat implicitly accepted his own mortality, and purchased a home in the Hollywood Hills for his current wife, 27-year-old Crystal Harris.
TMZ reports that the magazine mogul dropped $5 million on the four-bedroom, five-bathroom pad, and that Harris owns it with him. Since he technically rents the Playboy Mansion, this will ensure that his lovely bride doesn't go without shelter once he kicks it:
We're told the 87-year-old perennial player wants to make sure Crystal has a roof over her head when he's gone, and the Hollywood Hills estate fits the bill.
Harris nearly missed her chance to be the kept woman that she now is, after she bailed on her wedding with Hef back in 2011.
She eventually came back around, though, and the two were married this past New Year's Eve.
