Speculation over the sale of the company has created such an interest that Irish betting firm PaddyPower has created a section solely devoted to the future of Playboy.
PaddyPower indicated that numerous suitors for Playboy are on its short list, including:
- Larry Flynt, 9-4
- Donald Trump, 6-1
- Simon Cowell, 6-1
- Sean Coombs, 33-1
- Mel Gibson, 50-1
- Paris Hilton, 33-1
While British entrepreneur Richard Branson's Virgin Group, which has a minority stake in Virgin Media, said Thursday that it won’t acquire the company, some aren’t so sure that it won’t. (Branson’s PaddyPower odds are 6-4 he will purchase the company.)
Here’s a rundown of some other Playboy bets they are offering:
- Branson to rebrand tailfins on all Virgin planes with Playboy Bunny logo, 33-1
- One of Richard Branson's air hostesses to appear in Playboy, 7-4
- Branson to change the name of Playboy magazine to Virgin, 66-1
- Branson to insist that all Playboy Bunnies are virgins, 50-1
