Leona Helmsley leaves $12 mil--to her dog - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Ccook50 · 08-29-2007, 08:02 AM

Hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, the self-styled "queen of mean" who died last Monday, left $12 million to her dog Trouble.

Her brother, Alvin Rosenthal, is getting millions as well for watching after Trouble in her absence. Two of her four grandchildren get $5 million provided they visit her gravesite once a year. The other two grandchildren aren't getting squat.

Story here.

I know that some other people have left their fortunes with a pet of theirs but my question is what happens to the money when the pet passes away?

Miserable old battleaxe. My sympathies to her unfortunate heirs; hopefully they didn't inherit her cold heart or her callousness, either.

There are worthier possible heirs to the $12 million.

Like me, for example. Or, you know, cancer research? Orphanages? Starving children in Iraq? SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A MALTESE DOG? Ugh. I hate people.

Where will the dog leave it when it dies? I mean it can't possibly spend it. But then again it hasn't the ability to draw up a will.

I Heard about her the new briefly. It Sounds Weird Giving Dog 12 mil. Dollars.

Surely it would be better for the dog to leave everyone else a fixed annual income for as long as the dog stays alive so everyone has a vested interest in the dog's well-being.

However it could end up like 'Cold Lazarus' with the dog's head attached to a life-support machine to continue it's existence in perpetuity.

why do i have the strange feeling that all rich people are stupid now?

and ive seen alot of what will happen to the cash when the dog dies, but what about while its still alive? maybe the dog will buy a new.. uh.. ok its probably eating it.
