Dog inherits $12 million, turns world’s richest




He's rich and he is Trouble. We're talking about a Maltese terrier in New York, who has become the richest dog on earth.
Trouble (that’s really his name) has inherited 12 million dollars from his owner Leona Helmsley, who died earlier this month.
In her will, Helmsley also says Trouble must be buried in the family mausoleum with a view on New York skyline, when he dies.
Helmsley, a billionaire New York City hotel operator, had a reputation for keeping her purse strings tight and was even convicted in 1989 for tax evasion.
There's been no comment on the will so far from her four grandchildren, who between them received only 10 million dollars.


The dog will be cared for by Helmsley's brother Alvin Rosenthal, who was left $10 million.
Two grandchildren, David and Walter Panzirer, will be left $5 million each, as long as they make at least one visit a year to the grave of their father, Helmsley's son, Jay Panzirer.
"I have not made any provisions for my grandson, Craig Panzirer, or my granddaughter, Meegan Panzirer, for reasons known to them," she wrote.
