Leona Helmsley Leaves $12M to Her Dog, but Nothing to 2 Grandchildren

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.
This is ridiculius, what does a dog need with 12 million dollars.

Even if herkids or grandkids are jerks, she could have given it to charity if she didn't want them to have any. What does a dog need it for? I can see it now the dog will go to Pet Smart with it's gold card.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

She did leave it to charity, a charity that takes care of her dog.

You need to read the article. It said the dog gets 12 million and her brother that will be caring for the dog got several million himself, as did two of 4 grandchildren. There is no charity that takes care of her dog. Even if that dog lived another 7 years could it eat 12 million dollars worth of food.

Regardless, its her money and she can do whateverthehell she wants with it.

1. Dogs can't inherit money, she didn't leave any money to the dog, she left money to a trust or some similar construction whose stated purpose is the welfare of the dog

2. She left money to some entity to take care of another entity that cannot take care of itself. That's the definition of a charity. A charity that serves one animal is still a charity.
