“Love” continues from beyond the grave

Details on billionaire Leona Helmsley’s will became public recently: $12 million to her dog Trouble and nothing to several close family members! Oof. Her estate has been valued at between $4 billion and $8 billion, the bulk of which she left to her charitable trust. Two of Helmsley's grandchildren and all of her 12 great grandchildren got zilch -- "for reasons which are known to them," Helsmley wrote in her will. Trouble is "infamous for having luxurious taste" and a nasty temper, according to the New York Post. The dog will only eat gourmet foods and refuses to dine from a bowl, insisting on being handfed. Lovely animal. If there's any justice in the world, eight-year-old Trouble will enjoy his twilight years being cared for at a spa lovingly known as “Le Mill.” Helmsley also provided for Trouble in death . . . his remains are to be interred in the family0 Mausoleum.
