Tycoon Hugh Hefner has been advised to cut back on staff at his multi-million dollar glamour empire as it struggles to cope during the global economic turmoil.
The 83-year-old has been told to lay off some of his staff at his Los Angeles and New York offices as soon as this month or go bankrupt.
The company has recently seen shares fall from £6.20 to £1.55.
An insider at the company told the Daily Star that bosses had been aware of the worsening situation for "a while".
"Only the top brass has known for a while how bad things have been for Hef recently."
Spokeswoman Elizabeth Austin would not confirm the sackings, saying: "It is our policy not to comment on corporate matters such as employee issues."
The news will be another blow to Hefner who recently discovered that two of his "bunnies" may have been cheating on him.

Sacking playboy bunnies sounds like the best plan ever.
Oh - you mean firing them?
Hugh Hefner to sack Playboy bunnies....
Been doing it for 5 decades now.
Is this yet another sign of the Poncification of Western Civilization — the collapse of the Playboy Empire?
Never thought I’d live to see the day.
Bailout!!!!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!!!!...............
HH has been losing his shirt since the Internet started giving away the stuff that he was trying to sell.
“I’m gonna get laid? Okay. No big deal. What? Laid off? hee-hee! I don’t think I’ve ever done that before! Sounds like fun. What is it?”
Man..., all those fake breasts. The good news is that if any of those 3 women are driving and get into a car accident they won’t need the air bag to deploy....
I’m more concerned about the effects of long-term peroxide exposure on these young (ahem) ladies.
LMAO!You just can't make this stuff up.Playboy has been going under since the internet boom.Paper copies are passe' these days.
Six.
The problem is that the articles we all used to buy PLAYBOY mag to read, are now free to read on the Internet.
No. it's simply "laying them" off.
Exactly. As if his “empire” wasn’t already in trouble.
I’m a man. A straight man. Yet, these women don’t do anything for me.
They just look... fake. Fake and dead.
Playboy used to have semi-normal looking women. I know - for a fact - they did.
What happened?
Ugh, can’t stand that silicone. Although might need a closer look at the one in red. She might be natural.
The alpha pimp needs to get more talent in his stable.
Chicago is the only town, barring SF, where an over the top prostitution ring could win kudos from the government.
Hugh the pimp has been going broke for decades. Putting his girls out on cable has generated much needed revenue to keep his lifestyle afloat.
Hugh the pimp’s girls caught CHEATING!! That is the very definition of an oxymoron.
Bleach blond plastic boobied Barbie dolls are expensive.
Some may call the girls to Hef’s left “twins”, I’d call them quadruplets...
