Unlike his other siblings, David Hefner mostly stays out of the spotlight. This has made several people curious to know who he is and his life. Keep reading to find out more about this celebrity kid. 

Who Is David Hefner?

David Hofmer is the first child of producer, actor, and renowned Playboy magazine publisher Hugh Hefner and Millie Hefner. He was born on August 30, 1955 in Palo Alto, California.

David is the eldest son of the Hefner family with three younger siblings. His siblings are Christine, Cooper, and Marston Hefner. Regarding his education, David attended his elementary and high school at undisclosed locations in the US.

After graduating from high school, he enrolled at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he specialized in film and digital media. 

David Hefner’s Career 

Thanks to his highly educated background, David has dived into various career paths over the years. The celebrity child is a producer, businessman, computer engineer, writer, editor, and director. 

With his skills, he has contributed significantly to the entertainment industry for many years and has worked in the film and editorial departments. Some of his works in the film industry include: 

  • Pay Attention (2004)
  • Forgotten Pills (2005) 
  • Dusty Road (2006) 
  • Shut Up and Shoot (2006)
  • Welcome to Juliette (2007) 
  • The End of Light (2007) 
  • Heroes at Home (2008)
  • Grandmother (2010)
  • Forgotten Pills (2010) 
  • Washed (2014) 
  • Translogic (2013 – 2016)
  • Talita (2017)

It is also important to note that in the movies listed above, David served as either a writer or a director, or in some cases, as both. The film, “Forgotten Pills,” won him the Grand Jury Award for Best Feature Film in 2010 at the Dances with Films festival. 

He has been praised numerous times for his incredible talent and work and is an industry favorite. Hugh Hefner’s first son is also a qualified computer graphics specialist.

Although where he got his qualification for this is unknown, David owns an independent production company and also runs a computer consulting company. Both companies are in the United States, making it easy for him to shuffle between both. It is pretty impressive how David can have multiple professional careers and still keep most of his life private. 

David Hefner’s Parents

David’s parents are Hugh Hefner and Millie Hefner. His dad, Hugh, was a producer, actor, and renowned publisher of the infamous Playboy magazine. He passed away on September 27, 2017, at 91, and left David’s brother Cooper as the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of Playboy Enterprises.  

Hugh Hefner

Thanks to his Playboy magazines, clubs, and mansion, Hugh lived a very controversial life, allegedly fostering sexual abuse and exploitation of different women. He extended the Playboy brand to include the club and luxurious Playboy mansions where the Playboy Playmates lived, partied and got involved in sexual relations.

Some rumors claimed that Hugh slept with every female Playboy model as an “induction rite” into the Playboy mansion, while some believe he raped many girls there. 

Despite all the controversies surrounding Hugh before his death, he strongly advocated for animal rights and rescue, First Amendment rights, and restoring the Hollywood sign. The Playboy magazine still exists to date and is majorly digital now compared to Hugh’s time when most of their publications were in hard copies.

Millie Hefner

David’s mother, Millie Hefner (née Williams), was Hugh’s first wife. She was known majorly as Hugh’s wife, so little about her personal life is known. She met Hugh shortly after dropping out of school, and the two began dating some months later. 

After dating for a while, Millie married Hugh on June 25, 1949, when they were only 23. The couple separated on infidelity grounds and went their separate ways. However, they shared joint custody of their kids and remained cordial co-parents until Hugh died. 

David Hefner’s Net Worth

David has an alleged net worth of $500,000 thanks to his incredible talents and multiple income streams. Some estimate his net worth to be higher by including his father’s inheritance and Playboy revenue, but it is difficult to determine if it is accurate. 

By the time of Hugh’s death, Playboy was not owned by him but was an established company and brand. This makes it impossible to estimate if David got a cut of the company or not.
