Arles, France, 1965. 90-year-old widow Jeanne Calment lived alone. 47-year-old lawyer André-François Raffray offered a deal: a viager contract—2,500 francs monthly. She stays. When she dies, the apartment is his. He signed confidently, unaware she smoked, ate two pounds of chocolate weekly, drank wine, and cycled at 100. Years passed. 1970: 95. 1975: 100. 1985: 110. Raffray paid faithfully—30 years, 900,000 francs—double the apartment’s value. Never lived a night there. December 25, 1995, he died, 77. Jeanne lived on, turning 122 on August 4, 1997, becoming the oldest verified human ever. When told of Raffray’s death, she enjoyed foie gras and chocolate cake. “In life,” she said, “one sometimes makes bad deals.”
