- Ms. Calment had, at age 90, sold her home to a 47 year old neighbor, retaining the right to live in the home until her death. The deal included an obligation for the neighbor to make monthly payments for the duration of Ms. Calment's life. The neighbor died at the age of 77, when Ms. Calment was 110.
