Robert Charles Joseph Edward Sabatini "Bob" Guccione (pronounced "goo-chee-OAN-eh", December 17, 1930 – October 20, 2010) was the founder of the adult magazine ''Penthouse'' in 1965. This was aimed at competing with Hugh Hefner's ''Playboy'', but with more extreme erotic content, a special style of soft-focus photography, and in-depth reporting of government corruption scandals. By 1982 Guccione was listed in the Forbes 400 wealth list, and owned one of the biggest mansions in Manhattan. But he made some extravagant investments that failed, and the growth of free online porn in the 90’s greatly diminished his market. In 2003, Guccione’s publishers declared bankruptcy and he resigned as chairman. ==Early life== Guccione was born in Brooklyn, New York of Sicilian descent, and raised Catholic in Bergenfield, New Jersey. His father, Anthony, was an accountant and his mother, Nina, was a housewife. He considered but rejected entering the priesthood.〔McFadden, Robert D. (October 20, 2010). ("Bob Guccione, Penthouse Founder, Dies at 79" ). nytimes.com, October 21, 2010; accessed October 1, 2014.〕 He attended high school at Blair Academy, a prep school in Blairstown, New Jersey. In his teens, Guccione married his first wife,〔 Lilyann Becker. The couple had a daughter, Tonina. The marriage failed, and he left his wife and child to go to Europe to be a painter. He eventually met an English woman, Muriel, moved to London with her, and married her. They had four children: Robert Jr., Nina, Tony and Nicky. To support his family, Guccione managed a chain of laundromats until he got work as a cartoonist on an American weekly newspaper, ''The London American'', while Muriel started a business selling pinup posters. He occasionally created cartoons for Bill Box's humorous greeting card company, Box Cards.〔Anthony Haden-Guest ("Boom and Bust" ), ''The Observer'', February 1, 2004.〕〔Bob Guccione episode on ''E! True Hollywood Story''〕〔(Bob Guccione profile ), penthouse.com; accessed September 20, 2007. "Coming from a conventional background--he was born in Brooklyn, raised in Bergenfield, New Jersey, and educated at Blair Academy — Guccione became interested in less than conventional activities after he left school."〕
