Trouble, the dog that inherited $12m, dies
Trouble, the dog that inherited $12m, dies
One of the world's richest dogs, which inherited $12 million (£7.3m) from eccentric US hotelier Leona Helmsley, has died.
7:00AM BST 10 Jun 2011
Helmsley, who owned the Helmsley hotel chain, left $12 million in her will to care for her beloved Maltese named Trouble when she died in 2007. A judge reduced the amount to $2 million.
Though Trouble's death is only now being reported, the dog actually died on Dec 13 at the age of 12, said Eileen Sullivan, spokesman for the Helmsley Charitable Trust.
"She was cremated and her remains are being privately retained. The funds held in trust for her care have reverted to the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for charitable purposes," Ms Sullivan said in a statement.
Harry Helmsley was Leona's late husband.
Ms Sullivan refused to give any other details about Trouble. The New York Daily News newspaper said the dog had been cared for by the manager of the Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel in Sarasota, Florida.
Leona Helmsley was known as "the queen of mean" for the way she treated hotel employees. She served 18 months in prison for tax evasion in the 1990s.
