Leona Helmsley’s Dog Receives a Good Chunk of Her Money

   Are you all as ready for some comic relief as I am? I OWE this to my faithful HickTown residents! You all are going to love me for this! The will of the “Queen of Mean”, Leona Helmsley has been released and she has left a great deal to her dog and zero to her own grandchildren!

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.

But no one made out better than Trouble, who once appeared in ads for the Helmsley Hotels, and lived up to her name by biting a housekeeper.

“I direct that when my dog, Trouble, dies, her remains shall be buried next to my remains in the Helmsley mausoleum,” Helmsley wrote in her will. Source

Trouble made out like a fat rat, huh? I’m certain that during times when Trouble heard Leona fussing and arguing with her grandchildren, the little bitch…um, female dog, would smirk to herself while thinking, Go on and argue with her, idiots!  Each argument that you win means more doggy toys, doggy jewelry, doggy outfits, doggy bones and doggy biscuits for me if and when the old, mean coot finally passes away.

Go on Trouble, with your bad self! She certainly has taught me a lesson. There are times when it’s best to just let granny win the argument!

    I think it would be justice if Trouble took the money bought Michael Vicks house and turned it into a doggie spa. (Is this the year of the dog or what.)

    I wonder what happens to the money when Trouble dies….I think the life span of a dog that size is about 15 years. Hopefully it will go to charity.
