Trouble is living the good life in Florida. I would too, if I had a fortune of $5 Billion (with a “B”). He must have wonderful financial advice because the initial $12 Million (with an “M”) was left to him in a fund to benefit animals. That’s where the trouble began for Trouble.
In a suit filed in New York, three animal – welfare groups have filed suit in Manhattan regarding the use of those funds. Named in the suit are The Humane Society of the United States; the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; and Maddie’s Fund, a charitable fund created by a PeopleSoft former chief executive.
The suit contends that the money is not being used according to the last wishes of Mrs. Helmsley. Those wishes were that the funds be used to benefit animal charities. Instead, only $1 million of a $136 million grant went to organizations having to do with animals.
Oh, if only my name was Trouble.
I have a coffe pot from the Helmsley Hotel.
It makes a mean cup of tea.
Last time I saw a face like that, it had a hook in it. < /Rodney Dangerfield >
Cute pooch. Hope it lives a long and happy life.
What an UGLY, UNHAPPY woman.
