12 million $ left for dog

NEW YORK - 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.

The mausoleum, she ordered, must be "washed or steam-cleaned at least once a year." She left behind $3 million for the upkeep of her final resting place in Westchester County, where she is buried with her husband, Harry Helmsley.

She also left her chauffeur, Nicholas Celea, $100,000.

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.

Her longtime spokesman, Howard Rubenstein, had no comment.

Helmsley died earlier this month at her Connecticut home. She became known as a symbol of 1980s greed and earned the nickname "the Queen of Mean" after her 1988 indictment and subsequent conviction for tax evasion. One employee had quoted her as snarling, "Only the little people pay taxes."

No, Zsa Zsa Garbor slapped the cop....:D

I figured Helmsley was too mean to die.......:p I hadn't even heard she had passed away. Very strange. Though I guess I can relate to liking a dog better than most people.....:rolleyes:

you obviously don't know many rick people.... I actually do know a couple, one is a multi-billionaire, and I don't mean Know-Know, I mean met/worked for know. this one woman named Mary Lou Whitney, shes has this one dog, with some stupid french name, that she FLIES to NYC from upstate NY to go get groomed in the most expensive dog care place in NYC... It sickens me.

Its sounds typical to me.
You get that rich, you have bratty kids that in turn pop out bratty, spoiled little shits of their own.
Then Granma gets fed up and says well, you don't visit, you don't give me any respect-you ain't gettin nothing from me you little selfish pricks.
Her dog was the only one that actually cared for her, so why not leave the money to it?
But on the other hand-she was probably a crappy mom to begin with.. even with money you can raise your kids not to be selfish and greedy.
And really, it's not that hard to be a good mommy-you just have LOVE them.

Everybody got what they deserved here.
