You know him. The fabulously wealthy guy, who rubs shoulders with the rich and famous, the movers and shakers of industry, and may even have connections in the political arena. The one sitting on top of more capital than most people can imagine and more than they themselves will ever be able to spend in a lifetime. Add dashing good looks, boyish charm, swank tailored suits, lavish living in a downtown penthouse loft and a countryside mansion, a huge yacht, luxury cars, hanging out in VIP-only lounges in nightclubs, and weekend excursions on the Rio Grande or the Virgin Islands and it's no wonder they're regarded as part of the "jet set". The combination of wealth, power, and charisma draws women to them in droves — and he exults in it, because he can have his pick among supermodels and starlets. Even if he's the type to love 'em and leave 'em, he knows there'll always be another to take their place, ensuring you'll never get as much action as he does. He is The Hedonist, so there may be a bevy of live-in girlfriends and mistresses. The classic suit is the smoking jacket. Their luxury accessories aim to impress. If they light a cigarette, it's with an engraved platinum lighter. If they sign for a huge suite at a luxury hotel, it's with a silver Cartier fountain pen. They wear a Philippe Patek or Tag Heuer watch. For this reason, live action shows featuring playboys are great works for luxury Product Placement. When relaxing at home, silk pajamas and a robe are the favorite garb. In addition to wealth and a glamorous personal style, playboys are cosmopolitan and well-read. They can discuss the novels of Norman Mailer, and Kurt Vonnegut, chat about Nietzche's philosophy or Picasso's painting style, favorite stagings of La Bohème, and debate political issues.note "Hugh Hefner, Iconic Playboy, Dies at 91" in Vanity Fair. By Donald Liebenson, September 27, 2017. The playboy has a well-rounded education, which allows them to be at ease conversing with everyone with from authors and artists to CEOs and heads of state. Playboys are also gourmands with a refined palate. Their wine cellar and liquor cabinet includes rare, imported bottles. Their drink of choice is an elegant cocktail. Pipes and fine cigars are also appreciated.note The lead illustration depicts Hugh Hefner with his iconic pipe. Favorite playboy hobbies include gambling at elite casinos (Blackjack, roulette, etc); hanging out with business elite at wood-paneled private club; gala, black tie Classical Music events; art openings at fancy galleries; auction houses for fine art; posh equestrian events and other Snooty Sports; and luxury travel in their private jet to glamorous and exotic locations (French Riviera, Paris, Rome, tropical beaches). In spy thrillers and heist films, they may be part of a Caper Crew. Usually as the one covering the group's expenses, and just as likely to use their connections to bail the team out of a tight spot, should it become necessary. Ones with fighting skills are likely to be Cultured Badasses. For villainous examples see Man of Wealth and Taste. Spear counterpart to the Socialite. |

Green Arrow Oliver Queen, before he gave away his fortune in the Seventies. The girls, the wining and dining and partying. Then he started dating Black Canary and founded a center for troubled youth. Averted on round two: After the events of "Quiver", when Stanley transferred all his considerable funds to Queen's name because he expected to take over his body, Green Arrow didn't go back to being a playboy; he wanted to try to patch things up with Black Canary, and he had a new sidekick to care for. |

Bruce Wayne acts like this in some continuities. During the No Man's Land arc, he pretends to be sunbathing with hot chicks on a beach during a voice call to Lucas, with Oracle providing real-time giggling and noise effects. Batman, in costume, even adopts his "careless playboy" body language. | |
