The Resume

    (September 19, 1955- )
    Born in New York, New York
    Full name: Robert Charles Guccione
    Son of Penthouse founder Bob Guccione Sr
    Started Spin and Gear magazines
    Bought Discover magazine

Why he might be annoying:

    He was thrown out at Spin (by his own father) and Discover and Gear magazines folded.
    He was sued by an employee for sexual harassment, and though cleared of that charge, was found guilty of promoting a 'hostile sexual environment' and not paying his female employees the same as men and had to pay an unspecified fine and settlement.
    His first couple of attempts at business failed and he had to work for his father for many years before striking out on his own.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was able to regain control of Spin magazine and only missed one issue of publication and later sold it for a profit.
    He's reportedly dated Ann Coulter, Celia Farber, and Candace Bushnell.
    He has reconciled with his father.
    He doesn't publish pornography.
