The owners of more than 43 porn sites, including Bang Bros, won the auction to take over Penthouse. The porn company outbid Pornhub, Hustler, and Dream Media for a cool $11.2 million. They now own the assets of Penthouse Global Media, which includes all the X-rated back content of the magazine, whose most recent cover features porn star Stormy Daniels.

Penthouse declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy recently, only two years after a group bought the title and resurrected the print edition. The 53-year-old magazine was founded originally to be a more explicit hardcore version of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy, and at its peak, Penthouse sold more than 5 million copies a month to Playboy’s peak of 7 million. “With the company debt-free, we are ready to grow,” said the former Chief Executive who plans to stay on under the new owners. “The new owners are committed to maintaining the four business units — publishing, broadcast, licensing and digital,” she added.
