Leona Helmsely, the billionaire hotel maven made famous as "the Queen of Mean" has left $12 million to her Maltese dog, named "Trouble."Her assets, at the time of her husband's death, were estimated at $5 billion. Almost all of this money will now go to a foundation named after her and her late husband, Harry.
In recent years, the foundation has given millions to help alzheimer's patients, to aid NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, to help the families of firefighters after 9/11, and to help African-American churches.
That said, her strange bequest to her dog will be what is remembered -- that and the fact that she disinherited two of her four grandchildren.
