Hugh Hefner in the 1970s.

I will never forget the day I first saw Hugh Hefner’s private office. We were doing work for PIayboy Video and we visited their Chicago headquarters for a meeting. We were on a break so I decided to scout out Hef’s desk. The door to his office was opened but I was afraid to walk in. Standing at the entrance was enough for me to imagine the shenanigans that went on in there. I was thrilled, however, to be breathing the same air as that publishing genius. It is always fun to see where creativity takes place. Thanks to Mashable and LinkedIn, here are the offices of other entrepreneurs.
