The question why Hugh Hefner is marrying his 24 year old girlfriend Crystal Harris has been raised around many a post-Christmas table since Hef popped the question along with the diamond on Christmas Day. Jeez, my 85-year old mother doesn’t even have a computer, but the ever-young Hef tweeted his proposal. Still, Hef can’t have more than a decade of active life left in him while Crystal’s got six or seven decades.
Because negotiators don’t settle for easy answers (“he’s in love!”) we posted a little bargaining advice for Ms. Harris over at the ForbesWoman She Negotiates blog
Excerpt below. Negotiation advice at the link.
Playboy’s Hugh Hefner (84, net worth $43 million) suspended his disbelief in the possibility of a long-term relationship on Christmas Day by giving his current girlfriend Crystal Harris (24, net worth unknown) an engagement ring.
