Contract on Rogues Hill

Raj Rajaratnum’s property up at 577 Round Hill Road, listed at $7.9 million, is under contract (I wrote about the place back in September when it first hit the market). He paid $7.5 million for it in May 2020, so not such a good buy, but, assuming the feds didn’t get all his money, Raj can probably afford to take the hit.

My favorite Raj story, told to me by someone who was in a position to know, was the time he offered Kenny Rogers $1,000,000 to come up here and sing Raj’s favorite song “The Gambler”, and only The Gambler, during his (40th?) birthday party. Rogers agreed and showed up with his band and began playing. I’m told that he actually got through about 12 repetitions before he said “fuck this”, and quit. Raj must have been tired of the song by then too, because he let Rogers keep the money and join in the party.
