Hefner

Bathrobe media magnate

Hefner is a surname, most famously associated with Hugh Hefner (1926–2017), founder of Playboy magazine.

The name has become shorthand for a certain lifestyle of wealth, silk robes, and sexual libertinism: He thinks he's some kind of Hefner with that smoking jacket.
