After years of tell-all exposés from past playmates and the print magazine’s gradual decline in sales, in 2020 Playboy released its final print publication and entirely shifted gears to digital issues.
In 2005, Hefner and his entourage of blonde, busty babes were featured in a reality TV show, The Girls Next Door, focusing on their lavish lifestyles as Hefner’s girlfriends in the Playboy Mansion. Beyond print, the brand expanded to fashion, film, and television. They'd go on to feature more celebrity icons and even turn playmates into celebrities themselves. At its height in 1975, an issue of Playboy would sell an average of 5.6 million copies. Playboy’s first issue featured blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe on the cover and nude centerfold, launching the magazine into an international success. Initially founded in 1953 by Hugh Hefner, magazine publisher and glorified pimp, Playboy was considered a progressive pornographic publication, at that time, for defyed the 1950s anti-obscenity laws. The online porn industry in the US sees annual revenues up to $97 billion, which explains Playboy’s millions in annual losses.
