Nothin' but Trouble

$12 million dollars bequeathed to a dog.

That's what Leona Helmsley, "The Queen of Mean," left her dog Trouble, a white Maltese.

However, according to a Reuters report, she left two of her four grandchildren out of her will, "for reasons which are known to them."

The age of Trouble was not released. Life expectancy of Maltese dogs is 15 to 18 years.

"That's a lot of biscuits" jokes aside, think of what that money — or even a portion of it — could have done for financially strapped animal shelters.

(9/2/07) NOTE: The New York Times reports that Trouble is 8 years old. Here's to a long, happy life.
