The original porn king of the world, Hugh Hefner led an unapologetic life. Starting from a single photograph (of the iconic Marilyn Monroe) he built a magazine empire responsible for the sexual awakening of many generations of boys. Known for its erotic content, the magazine was a reflection of its founder who led an equally scandalous life in his Playboy Mansion. The man who was famous for popping Viagra like chocolate claims to have slept with thousands of women. The fact that he lived up to the ripe age of 90 is proof enough *** is good for your health. 

We picked a few facts from his life that reveal a little more of the glorious personality of the king of porn. A life lived just right. 

It is also reported that his class voted him as the ‘most likely person to succeed'.
