I just read how Leona Helmsly’s will played out. The “Queen of Mean” left $12 million to her dog, but gave nothing to her 2 step-children.
Here’s how it played out…
- Trouble (the white fluff ball of a dog) gets $12 million
- Leona’s brother, Alvin Rosenthal, will care for Touble in her absence and get a few million of his own for doing so
- Two grandchildren, born to her late son Jay Panzirer, receive a $5 million each, as long as they visit their father’s grave once a year
- Her step-children got nothing. Quoting Joan Crawford, Leona said that Craig and Meegan Panzirer will receive nothing for “reasons that are known to themâ€
- Leona’s chauffeur, Nicholas Celea, received $100,000
Let me just tell you, I’ll visit anyone’s grave, as often as she’d like, for $5 million.
I wonder who’s really going to get the $12 million…it’s not like the dog can really do anything with it. Crazy old lady!
I heard that her brother has a pretty good case for the money, but still, how crappy does her family feel that she left all that money to the dog and not to them? Kinda says something about her.
