Playboy's Hugh Hefner to divorce from playmate

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is to become an official bachelor again after filing for divorce from his estranged wife.

The 83-year-old is asking for his marriage to former playmate Kimberly Conrad, 47, to be ended because the two are fueding about money.

In recent years, Hefner and his girlfriends - who have included Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt - have starred on “The Girls Next Door”.

His relationship with all three has since ended and he is now living with three new women, 19-year-old twins, Karissa and Kristina Shanno and third girlfriend Crystal Harris.

Conrad had moved next door to the Los Angeles house with their two sons, Marston, 19, and Cooper, 18,

“I am happy to be out of the marriage. I only remained married (to Conrad) for the sake of the children, at her request. I am happy to have this behind me,” Hefner told gossip website TMZ.

Court documents gave a glimpse into the lifestyle of Hefner. According to the documents, Hefner has assets of more than $43 million, excluding Playboy stock and property, and spends about $43,000 a month on food and entertainment.

Hefner has asked for spousal support for Conrad to be set at $20,000 a month, saying he has already given his estranged wife close to $12 million since their separation 11 years ago. She is seeking more.

How can he tell which one he's married to? Must be terribly confusing.
