A millionaire heiress died at age 12 in December, and the world is just finding out now.
Don't feel too bad, though. Trouble Helmsley, perhaps the world's most pampered pet, was 84 in dog years when she succumbed to illness and died, according to the New York Daily News.
She also, unbeknownst to her, outlasted several vows to bring her to a more violent end. Trouble received multiple death threats from people angry that her doting owner, billionaire real estate tycoon Leona Helmsley, left her a stunning $12 million in her will.
While Trouble hit the jackpot, Helmsley also unceremoniously cut two of her grandchildren out of her will. They sued, arguing that their grandmother wasn't of sound mind when she signed the document in 2005. Disgruntled grown grandchildren Craig Panzirer and Meegan Panzirer Wesolko each received several million in the ensuing deal, and a judge knocked $10 million off Trouble's inheritance, putting the sum back in the $8 billion The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.

I’m afraid you have misdirected your wrath as that comment was from another.
Best way to get something like that removed is to hit the abuse button on yourself.
What we need is for the government to tax people so they don’t leave any money.
Ah, finally a consensus here for high taxes, even when it’s after you die.
Disgusting.
My money, I’ll leave it to my beloved fleas if I choose to.
Some of you want to hand it to the likes of Anthony Weiner!
(He’s in gummint now, soon he’ll be working for a “worthy charity”!)
Please adopt me. I would love to suck from your dead, shriveled corpse.
I told my parents to spend every penny they have while they are still alive as I will take care of myself and my family just fine.
We told Hubby’s parents the same thing, “Spend it all! We don’t need it.” and “If you run out, we’ll take care of you.”
We were pretty disgusted about his brother’s wife, who vultured over the old folks until they died.
Hubby was executor, and he fairly and openly divided the estate. She had nothing to complain about even after poring over the paperwork looking for cheats and errors.
We don’t see them much anymore.
Thanks Joe. Pretty dog - I like small furry dogs in spite of all those who love great big ones, lol.
Trouble probably was the only one who loved Leona....
Whoops, naughty me!
