Multimillionaire Dog dies at age 12
Do you guys remember Helmsley's heir? It's none other than Trouble, one of the world richest dog in 1992.The darling dog of the billionaire “Queen of Mean” real-estate mogul died in Florida at the age of 12 or 84 in dog years, a spokeswoman said Thursday. Helmsley, who died in 2007, left $12 million to the pooch, though a judge later reduced it to $2 million. Trouble passed away in December but reportedly only now.
Trouble's owner, Leona said in her will she wanted to be buried with the dog in Helmsley's mausoleum at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Westchester County, but a worker at the cemetery who answered the phone there said dog burials aren’t allowed on the grounds. Instead, she was cremated and her remains are being privately retained.
While in Florida, Trouble lived a life of luxury, as Carl Lekic, the general manager of the Helmsley Sandcastle hotel in Sarasota, cared for her with a budget of about $100,000 yearly. The allowance covered Trouble's food, grooming, Lekic's fee and a security guard, according to the Daily News.
