In life, Leona Helmsley was known as the "Queen of Mean" for the way she treated employees in her luxury hotels. She once said, "Only the little people pay taxes." In death, it is her generosity that is making headlines. A billionaire, Helmsley famously did not like her fellow human beings, but she did like dogs. She loved Trouble, her Maltese, so much that she left him a $12 million trust fund. A Maltese dog is a small breed known for its loyalty. Trouble's $12 million was just the beginning, however. Helmsley also created a charitable trust now worth an estimated $5 billion. Helmsley's husband had died many years before her. According to the terms of the will, this money should be distributed to good causes, showing special preference for the care of dogs. Unfortunately, both these gifts have been struck down in court. New York courts, as with most courts, prefer people to dogs. Trouble's award has been reduced to just $2 million. How will he get by since his security detail alone costs $100,000 a year? That's a lot of dog biscuits! A judge ruled that the managers of the $5-billion charitable trust are free to give the money to whichever good causes they see fit. The Humane Society and other animal charities are appealing this ruling because of the first $136 million given away, only $1 million was dog-related. They say the charitable trust is ignoring Helmsley's will.
