11. John Lennon Caused Some “Damage” In The Mansion
It’s no secret that celebrities like to visit the Playboy Mansion often. The legendary John Lennon used to stop by pretty often, and one night when he was in a drunken state of revelry (or rage), he decided to put his cigarette out on one of Hefner’s Matisse paintings (which are worth a lot of money). Lennon was separated from Yoko Ono at the time, which was probably why he was acting so strangely—the separation is likely why he was at the mansion in the first place. Of course, Hefner was furious about the painting, but Lennon managed to smooth things over with him. The painting is now considered a collector’s item, and is still hanging in the Playboy Mansion.
