Dog left £6m by owner
17 September 2007 @ 1:16 p.m.

A billionaire has left £6million in her will to her dog.

Hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, who has died in New York aged 87, notoriously spoiled her bitch, Trouble.

Leona, dubbed the Queen of Mean, has left some relatives seething after leaving them nothing, reports The Sun.

Maltese terrier Trouble refused to eat from a bowl and staff had to feed her by hand - which often led to nasty nips.

Employees said Helmsley would even disrupt service in the kitchen of her Park Lane Hotel - where she lived - by insisting that the chef drop what he was doing to make gourmet meals for Trouble.

In 2000, the spoiled mutt nipped a diner in the restaurant. Helmsley told her victim: "I guess Trouble doesn't like you."

Her will said: "When my dog dies, her remains shall be buried next to my remains in the Helmsley Mausoleum."

Despite her fortune of between £2billion and £4billion, she left two of her grandchildren nothing "for reasons which are known to them".

She reportedly refused to talk to them because none named their kids after her late husband, Harry.

None of her 12 great-grandchildren is mentioned in the will.

She left £20million to two grandsons - but they lose half unless they visit their father's grave every year.
