Playboy strategically selected the Forum Shops at Caesars in Las Vegas to debut our first U.S. store because it is one of the most successful retail shopping destinations in the world. It is clear that Playboy and Las Vegas are a powerful match, presenting the chance for consumers and visitors to experience all of the glamour, sexiness, style and fun associated with both.
At the very beginning, I said my life and Playboy are a Rorschach test. It's a culmination of the dreams and fantasies and prejudices you bring to the table
I developed a great sense of self-confidence when I was very young.
Well, I grew up around the magazine and was part of a generation that was embracing our sexuality.
The very first stock I bought right out of college was Berkshire Hathaway.
In college, my big money memory was saving up to buy a car with my boyfriend, whom I lived with.
But maybe because the dot-com world gives people positions at a younger age, and many women are prominent in this business, it will help change the view about who can run big companies.
I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.
Some, but much of my money is tied up in Playboy stock.
We knew this was going to be a challenging year in publishing, as it was for the industry.
I never have to this day, because my money is the money I earn.
