Local radio legend Neil Rogers was running out of money when he died at 58 last Christmas Eve. The former WQAM-560 AM curmudgeon is believed to have spent almost $3 million in the last 18 months of life, most of it on Christian Hernandez, a 21-year-old boytoy for whom he bought a $700,000 home in Toronto. Rogers reportedly hadn’t paid income taxes for several years before his death, and the IRS could become his estate’s biggest beneficiary, with only $.5 million left. A legal battle over the scraps is brewing between Rogers’ friend in South Florida and Hernandez. Rogers had competing wills written within three weeks in November 2010. One splits assets between Hine, Hernandez and Jonathan Julian, Rogers’ longtime roommate in Plantation. The other makes Hernandez Rogers’ sole beneficiary. (thanks to Jose Lambiet).
