André François Raffray
André François Raffray was a French notary who made headlines for his unique real estate transaction in 1965, purchasing an apartment from 90-year-old Jeanne Calment under a 'viager' contract, which allowed him to pay her monthly until her death. He tragically passed away at the age of 77 after making payments for 30 years, ultimately paying more than double the apartment's value before Jeanne, who lived to be 122 years old, passed away.
