That should be a crime.

[Dr. Sivana]

That should be a crime.

I'll take it over whatever Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are leaving their money to, mostly Planned PArenthood type operations.

You leave your money to your two dogs, and what does it really mean. The dogs spend the rest of their days eating the best, healthiest dog food and maybe some tasty people food prepared for them, the best veterinarian comes to them whenever they get the sniffles, and a caretaker gets to live in a mansion with grounds, with the responsibility to be an advocate for the dogs. If Oprah is big on pet therapists, one of those will be provided.

After a long life (15 more years max) the dogs go to their reward, but there is still millions of dollars and a serious place to live left. The millions will go to whoever is next in line, the estate gets sold, presumably to humans. Overall, it is a better use of money than spending it on a Meghan Markle.

$30 Million Question to Oprah: After the dogs’ caregivers promise to arrange for meals,water,walks,vet visits and a mansion in which to place their dog beds....do the scamming caregivers grab the loot from the account ,transfer it to a pre-arranged Swiss numbered one and take off? Leaving the dogs with a huge bag of Wal-Mart dry food and a big bowl of water next to a row of newspapers in case no one finds them for a week?

It’s providing upkeep for her dogs. and it’s a small part of her estate

And, it’s her money.

That view is an extremely slippery slope with no good outcome.

It would only be a hop, skip, and a jump from saying that is criminal to saying leaving money to anyone other than the government is a criminal act.

As it’s her money, legally speaking, she can set it afire.
