I was the CEO of Arby's. I'm auctioning off my Texas mansion with a lowly $2.5 million starting bid because my wife and I are getting older and neither of us wants to live here alone.

  • Len Roberts, who served as the CEO of Arby's and RadioShack, is auctioning his Texas estate.
  • The 11,792-square-foot home in Fort Worth was built for hosting fundraisers and galas.
  • Roberts is auctioning off his home at a discount, knowing he won't get a return on investment.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Len Roberts, 74, about his choice to auction off his nearly 12,000-square-foot home on 1.82 acres in Fort Worth, Texas. Bidding starts April 24, with the starting bid at $2.5 million and a 10% buyer's premium. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
We're not moving from this home for financial reasons. We're moving to simplify our lives.
We're empty nesters it's just me and my wife now. It's a big house, and you have to manage it.
People always talk about people who live in castles, "What is it like living in this big castle with just the two of you?"
The key question is which one of us will predecease the other. I asked my wife, "Would you want to be in this big home alone?" She said she'd leave the next day. I said the same thing. I just don't want to be in this big home by myself.
We found a home 3 miles away that we felt comfortable in at our age.

I'm expecting a loss, but we've already got....<<

Does the house come with a built-in Horsey Sauce dispenser?

No way the asking price includes a built-in dispenser.

The photos, however, do suggest some acreage around the place. Perhaps some buyer could bring their own horseys and make the sauce at home.

Perhaps a new locale for Stately Jokerman Manor...
Lessee if'n the Missus goes for it.
She'll likely demand the dispenser, though.

I truly believe Gilbert Godfrey should narrate the Morgan Freeman biopic.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

Marsha Warfield should narrate the documentary on Gilbert Godfrey narrating the Morgan Freeman biopic.

Why this movie didn't win every Oscar during the three-year period after its release is beyond me.
