The worlds richest dog Trouble – who was once owned by Leona Helmsley has passed away at the age of 12. At the time of Helmsley’s death in 2007, her pooch was awarded $12 Million dollars of her fortune which a judge reduced to just $2 Million. Here are some of the deets on how Trouble lived.
After Helmsley’s death, Trouble moved to Florida and has since been cared for by Carl Lekic, the general manager of one of Helmsley’s hotels in Sarasota. Her caretaker spent $100,000 annually on her care — including $8,000 for grooming and $1,200 for dog food.
Trouble, who had faced 20 to 30 death and kidnapping threats, also retained a full-time security guard, according to news reports. Among the various testamentary disposition of her mistress was also requested that the bones of his beloved little dog were laid in the family mausoleum, but it was eventually decided on cremation.

Who did Trouble leave her money to?
right?! lmao
You know people with too much money have some sort of chemical reaction in their brain which makes their atoms go crazy and therefore makes them so ridiculously stupid, like leaving your fortune to your dog a FUCKEN DOG!
Tha Fuck?
maybe the dog was all she had :/
Regardless, wouldn’t it be more intelligent to at least leave the money for charity or something like that knowing that the money will save or improve someone life?
she was old and senile when she died.
This is plain, straight-up ridiculous. Wow.
Who would send death threats to a damn dog?
- “Trouble, I’m coming for that ass!”
- *barks*

Its sad that this dog was her only friend. Its even more sad that Leona was so detached from reality that she actually thought this dog would be able to appreciate or even know the value of money.
