Kenny Rogers tells Atlanta Journal "I made more money than that"...Playa-style
Kenny made it a point today to correct the Atlanta Journal for absurdly reporting that Kenny might not have made money on his recent home sale, saying he made much more money on his Buckhead mansion than the paper led us to believe. The paper had stated Rogers' home was purchased for $8.5 million when he had been asking $10 million. Kenny let them know they had short-changed him and to come correct:
"that was strictly for the real estate. It was $8.5 million for the real estate. And then the rest of it was for all the furnishings that I put in � and I made a profit on that," adding, "I made a lot of money on it." - courtesy of Richard Eldredge for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Kenny then expounds on his mastery of the real estate market here in Atlanta, hinting at a partnership with Donald Trump.

It is soooo telling when he says: "WE'RE not afraid to PLAY there, because WE know how to make it work.”
Kenny is a genius. Not because he's a real estate tycoon but because he's a real estate tycoon with the guidance of the Playaz.

Gotta love Kenny's attitude. I wish I had that kind of juice.

Look, we all know that when someone thinks Atlanta real estate, the fist thing that comes to their mind IS Kenny Rogers.

By the way, the Playaz helped Kenny and his partner Jim Weinberg come up with the name of their design company: "Kenji"

I hear the ghosts of Conway Twitty and Don Knotts going, "Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. It's always about Kenny!"

We almost had t-shirts made this year, Cube, honoring Don but we were too slow in ordering them. They would have been quite tasteful, with "Playaz Ball 2006" on the front, with Don Knott's tombstone on the back and "RIP".
