Neil Rogers’ Money Goes to IRS, Lawyers

Neil Rogers

Radio talker Neil Rogers would be reeling – if he could.

The administration of the estate of longtime WQAM-560 AM star Rogers, who died of a slew of ailments in hospice, has ended – and the IRS became the biggest beneficiary of Rogers’ estate.

Lawyers got a nice chunk of change, too.

So much for the fight for the cash among several of his friends!

Rogers, who was 68 when he died on Christmas Eve 2010, didn’t seem to be much for estate planning.

“He spent too much time at the horse track,” said Norman Kent, his agent and executor or the estate. “At least, he spent a lot of his money. He had $4 million four years ago.”

In all, about $500,000 from Rogers have been poured into Uncle Sam’s coffers while $100,000 is being paid to trustees and lawyers.

“Neil cashed in taxable annuities,” Kent said.

The long arm of the government unwittingly settled a dispute between several Rogers friends, each producing competing wills.

What’s more Rogers’ infatuation with a 21-year-old man in Toronto, where Rogers lived when he wasn’t in Plantation, cost him $700,000 for a new house.

“There’s nothing left,” Kent said.

NEIL GODDDDDD !!!!

I am not gay but I loved that man. Even though he was the exact opposite of me, his pinko, lefty, liberal commentary on local life was spot on.

I wonder if the bridge tender is dead ??

I think Neil would say what’s the point of dying rich if you didn’t enjoy your money when you’re here?
He loved the race track. He loved the casino up there. He traveled. He ate at Ruth’s Criss many times.
It’s sad about that Mexican kid taking advantage of him but…
And it’s not like he had any dependents who relied on him.
He enjoyed his money – good for him.

The shame is that he didn’t leave ANYTHING to Jorge for his daughters…not even a few dollars……

  I too thought jorge would have been left something. He was as close to a son as he ever had. He was important to Neil’s career. Oh well..he is probly eating at some buffet at the big horse track in the sky, or hell in his case.
  
  What is the deal w/some mexican kid ?? I know he liked young boys but generally white boys. I worked w/ a young guy in the ER that was a busboy at Ruths Chris and he had a lot of sunny stories about Neil coming in. He always had about 5 or 6 young guys w/him lolzz.

Very surprised like others that Jorge didn`t get at least 100k.
Neil had millions before he gave up and cashed in the annuites.
Neil was so right about living in south florida with everything
said by him to be so accurate.
Just don`t get how he spent 3 million with no family ?
Jorge should`ve been set up for life as he was a big part of Neil`s success. People, if you had the opprtunity to listen daily to Neil`s show you were treated to something you or anyone else will never be priveleged to. Spot on analysis on religion, politics, psychology, human relations, and life in general were made to be so comical and seriuos simulataneously. He did it with style and panache by offending many, but enthralling the rest with allure and cogent analysis.
