To begin with, Hefner is the daughter of Mildred Williams and Hugh Hefner; her parents separated when she was five years old. When her mother remarried, the family moved to Wilmette, Illinois, where she matriculated from New Trier High School. She attended the National Music Camp in Interlochen during the summers from 1964 to 1969, and Christie graduated from Brandeis University earning a Bachelor’s degree in English and American Literature in 1974.

Regarding her professional career, she began working for Playboy after her graduation. After four years of work, she was promoted to the position of vice-president, then in 1982, Christie was appointed as the president of Playboy Enterprises, and served as the president of the board and CEO from 1988. The company acquired other adult – oriented businesses such as Spice Network and ClubJenna. In 2008, she issued a memo to employees on efforts to coordinate the operations of the company, including the elimination of the DVD division. At the end of 2008, Hefner announced plans to resign from her post as the CEO of Playboy as of the 31st January 2009. Mrs. Hefner said that Barack Obama as the following President of the USA had inspired her to do more charity work, and that the decision to give up her post was personal. In the middle of 2011, she was named the CEO of Canyon Ranch Enterprises, a company that operates six resort spa destinations and a website that provides advice on health and welfare.

Concerning her philanthropic efforts, Hefner launched the First Amendment Award in honour of her father Hugh Hefner, and helped to raise $30 million to build the CORE Center in Chicago, the first facility for people with AIDS to open in the Midwestern United States.

Finally, in the personal life of Christie Hefner, she married the former Illinois senator William A. Marovitz who is also a real estate agent and lawyer in 1995; they did not have kids. Marovitz was sued by the USA Securities and Exchange Commission in 2012 for alleged use of insider information for illegal trade in shares of Playboy, a matter settled out of court. The couple separated in 2011 and divorced in 2013.

#Quote
1Well, I grew up around the magazine and was part of a generation that was embracing our sexuality.
2Most people sell stock to pay taxes, but I didn't want to sell any stock.
3Some, but much of my money is tied up in Playboy stock.
4The very first stock I bought right out of college was Berkshire Hathaway.
5I don't know what a world would be like if you do away with sexy images.
6It's important not to limit the amount of their own money that candidates can spend, but to give other people access to enough money to run competitive races.
7I defend the right of almost everything to be published... because I think that you're better off in trusting the marketplace than allowing other people to make that decision.
8But 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.
9Actually, my parents were separated by the time I was about 2 years old.
10I expected to go into journalism or law.
11Half of my employees are women.
12In college, my big money memory was saving up to buy a car with my boyfriend, whom I lived with.
13I think in terms of what I am able to accomplish and build.
14I'd guess that 80 percent of the people who work for Playboy are feminists.
15I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.
16I never have to this day, because my money is the money I earn.
17I've lectured at the Harvard Business School several times.
18I'm basically a gift-giver.
19Even though money seems such an objective topic, it can also be the most intimate, and possibly harmful, part of a relationship.
20I had an allowance, but I had to do things around the house to earn it. I think I always wanted my own money.
21From the time that I can remember, I worked to make money - either baby-sitting, or one year wrapping gifts at a department store at Christmas, so I could have my own money.
22We don't fight about money... I hate to see people fight about money.
23Not only did I enjoy the creative side of Playboy and enjoy being surrounded by people who are curious about life, but I also love the analytical and hard business side of it.
24I had higher math SATs than in English - yet I became an English major in college.
25I have invested in the stock market since I was very young.
26Billy not only had a distinguished career in the Legislature, but he also has great business instincts and has done exceedingly well making investment decisions in both stocks and private ventures such as real estate.
27My mother thinks I could have even run a larger company.
28Being a CEO still means sitting across the table from big institutional investors and showing your leadership and having them believe in you.
29No, I never thought about my father's money as my money.
30I don't think about financial success as the measurement of my success.
31I developed a great sense of self-confidence when I was very young.
32I came to Playboy not expecting to stay. But after five years, I found myself really enjoying the business world, and I realized I had some skill.
33I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men.
