Leona Helmsley has the last word, and it's 'fetch'
New York Daily News
NEW YORK | The Queen of Mean’s pampered pooch scored a bone-anza, but two grandchildren were ordered to keep their paws off the $4 billion she accumulated in her lifetime.

Billionaire luxury-hotel magnate Leona Helmsley’s will was made public in Manhattan’s Surrogate Court.

The biggest winners: Trouble, Helmsley’s tiny white Maltese, will be cared for from a $12 million trust. Helmsley’s brother, Alvin Rosenthal, will get $10 million.

The biggest losers: “I have not made any provisions in this will for my grandson Craig Panzirer or my granddaughter Meegan Panzirer for reasons which are known to them.”

The winners’ obligations: Rosenthal will care for Trouble until she dies, at which time she will be buried beside Helmsley and her husband, Harry Helmsley, in a five-star mausoleum that will be maintained with a $3 million perpetual-care trust.

The two other grandchildren, David and Walter Panzirer, sons of her late son, Jay Panzirer, will get $10 million each — but only if they visit their father’s grave once a year. To ensure that they meet their annual requirement, Helmsley ordered a guest book installed inside the family mausoleum.
