Rich US dog hiding after threats

 

 

 

A dog which inherited $12m (ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã5.8m) from late New York hotelier Leona Helmsley is in hiding after it was targeted by death threats, US media say.

 

Trouble, a white Maltese that belonged to the billionaire until her death in August, was flown by private jet to Florida, the New York Post reported.

 

 

 

It says the tiny [bleep] was whisked away under an assumed name after receiving about 20 threats.

 

 

 

Trouble is said to have earned a number of enemies due to its habit of biting.

 

 

 

She was taken to an undisclosed location in Florida two months ago, the newspaper said.

 

 

 

John Codey, who manages the dog's trust fund, told US television network CBS last week the cost of Trouble's security, medical care, chef-cooked meals and grooming was about $300,000 (ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã145,000) a year.

 

 

 

Dubbed the "Queen of Mean", Mrs Helmsley stipulated in her will that her beloved dog should be buried after its death beside her and her late husband Harry, who died in 1997.

 

 

 

When Trouble dies, any remaining money from the pet's trust will go to the charitable foundations that inherited most of the hotel magnate's estate.

 

 

 

Famous for pronouncing that "only the little people pay taxes", Mrs Helmsley died of heart failure in August, aged 87.

 

 

 

A few months back we had a thread about this, so might aswell bring you the update :

 

 

 

Found it funny how they gave the dog Trouble another Name so it wouldn't be murdered lol

Why would you give your dog any money? I think you can do better things with that amount of money.

Because she did not want to give it to her son or someone, so she gave it too the dog.

... It seems this person never had a glimpse of real people or real lives to begin with :lol: So leaving her dog millions of dollars doesn't really seem too weird...

We have to reanimate that woman and have her shot for giving that much money to a dog.

When you realize that there are families struggling to live off 5% of what that dog gets a year, I wouldn't be surprised to find the dog torn limb from limb very soon, or at least used for a novel variation of the old 'eat the rich ' slogan.

Going to the dogs, lol.

 

 

 

But honestly, who really cares?

Haha, it isn't the dogs fault that it is worth $12m.
