General Media International, Inc.
 PROFILE
There's no business like porn business, like no business he knows. "He" is General Media International's (GMI) flamboyant owner and chairman Bob Guccione, publisher of flesh purveyor "Penthouse" and four other adult publications. GMI's publications have a combined circulation of about 1.4 million and falling; brand-name publications aside, the company has been losing money. It licenses foreign editions of its magazines in 15 countries, produces "Penthouse" videos and pay-per-view programming, runs a subscription Web site, and operates phone-sex services. While pornography is the centerpiece of GMI's holdings, the company also controls a collection of fine art and real estate holdings.
