The old Kemper building in Chicago was sold to a charitable group for a dollar. This was probably a huge tax deduction for Kemper.

Hugh Hefner may have simply retained a life estate in the property. It allows the buyers to pay a lower price with the offset being the delay before possession. Not unusual.

Originally Hugh Hefner didn’t own the Mansion; Playboy Enterprises did. Hefner paid a formal rent of $100/year to live there. It would have been awfully expensive for him to own it outright, but for the company it was probably a tax deduction as a business expense. I wonder what rent agreement exists now?
