Even in death Leona Helmsley, a hotel billionaire, had her way. She gave her two grandchildren zero, and left a will with $12 million dollars for her dog.

Okay, I like dogs, but WTF?! Do you know how many CHILDREN could be fed, housed, clothed, educated with $12 Million dollars?!! This is obscene!

Well, since she left 4 billion dollars to unnamed charities through a trust, I think that probably covers the children.... But what will a dog do with 12 million dollars????

Hey, when your dog is the ONLY friend you have you have to acknowledge the fact, but 12 million does sound a little excessive.

This was her money...who cares. She gave millions to charities ...I hate the headline ..Queen of mean....she was an employer. The ones who called her that were staff that did not want to follow her rules. And he had many friends not just her dog....common folks
