Helmsley's dog gets $12 million in will
NEW YORK (AP) — Leona Helmsley's dog will continue to live an opulent life, and then be buried alongside her in a mausoleum. But two of Helmsley's grandchildren got nothing from the late luxury hotelier and real estate billionaire's estate.
Helmsley left her beloved white Maltese, named Trouble, a $12 million trust fund, according to her will, which was made public Tuesday in surrogate court.
She also left millions for her brother, Alvin Rosenthal, who was named to care for Trouble in her absence, as well as two of four grandchildren from her late son Jay Panzirer — so long as they visit their father's grave site once each calendar year. Otherwise, she wrote, neither will get a penny of the $5 million she left for each.
Helmsley left nothing to two of Jay Panzirer's other children — Craig and Meegan Panzirer — for "reasons that are known to them," she wrote.

That is SO MEAN!!!! I guess she had a right to do what she wanted, but still. A control freak to the end, too.

My DW calls be Trouble. Maybe I can put in for part of that $12M action?

Aw, come on guys! She also left billions to charity. Shouldn't that be celebrated instead?

She ordered that cash from sales of the Helmsley's residences and belongings, reported to be worth billions, be sold and that the money be given to the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.

I agree.
Personally, I'd rather make my own fortune than inherit one. From my perspective she did those kids a favor.
