While the popular image of Hef is the mythic man amongst beautiful young women, it was not always this way. Hugh Hefner got his start on a shoestring budget, pasting together copy of the first 1953 edition of Playboy on his kitchen table. That nude photo of Marilyn Monroe was actually purchased from an outside source. Yet, the man behind the legendary gentleman’s magazine became a multimillionaire in due time. Many Sugar Daddies find their start with a vision and a dream, eventually to find themselves at the top of the heap. A Sugar Daddy’s affinity for taking risk and his knack for making it work is irresistible to women. 

 Sugar Daddies know that business savvy is imperative for pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. Naturally Hugh Hefner had competition in his field, but with clever marketing he crushed it all and rose to the top. Now, the Bunny logo is perhaps one of the most recognized icons in modern America. Part of a Sugar Daddy’s appeal is his no-nonsense approach to business and his inherent knack for implementing genius schemes. This intelligence and business savvy is not the only thing that impresses girls: the wealth that naturally follows it is pretty impressive, too. 

 Sugar Daddies are typically gentlemen who have refined courtship – and, even marriage. Of course, Hugh Hefner was married, throughout the 1960s and has two children from his first wife, Millie. He married again in recent years, but has lately settled for a bachelor lifestyle. Yet, he still maintains his father-like qualities in housing and caring for his Girls Next Door. Hefner is similar to many Sugar Daddies in this respect. Typically, Sugar Daddies have been married once or twice, have done their stint as fathers, and finally gave up responsibility in exchange for a second bachelordom. Still, Sugar Daddies like to spoil their new girlfriends just as they once spoiled their own little girls. 

 This life experience does not come without a steep price: time. Hugh Hefner is a mature gentlemen, now 83 years old. Most Sugar Daddies do not get quite so far into their years, while still maintaining their absurd sex appeal, making Hugh Hefner the ultimate Sugar Daddy. Yet, this octogenarian is surrounded by sexy, supple women and maintains his title as the Sultan of Skin. Lesser Sugar Daddies can only hope Father Time is equally as kind to them.
