Crazy dog lady Leona Helmsley not so crazy about her grandkids

What do you do if your dear old Grandma dies and leaves $12 million to her ugly white Maltese but leaves you nothing? That’s what two of Leona “Queen of Mean” Helmsley’s grandkids are asking themselves today, after it was reported that the billionaire hotelier, who died August 20th in Greenwich and is buried in a mausoleum at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, left them out of her extremely-strange-and-kind-of-funny-in-a-sad-way will.
Helmsley––who went to prison for tax evasion and is reported to have once said, “only the little people pay taxes”––is remembered by many as the worst thing to come out of the 80s (besides leg-warmers).
Some of her relatives did benefit from her passing: Her brother, Alvin Rosenthal, who will care for the dog–named Trouble–will receive “millions,” according to the AP, as will two of her four grandchildren (offspring of her deceased son Jay Panzirer). However, the kids must visit their father’s grave site once a year…otherwise neither will get “a penny” of the $5 million she left for each (seriously, this sounds like some macabre black comedy).
The two grandkids who were cut off are Craig and Meegan Panzirer. The “reasons…are known to them,” Helmsley wrote in her will.
Also stipulated in the will: When Trouble dies, Helmsley wants her remains to be buried next to her own remains in the Helmsley mausoleum, which must be “washed or steam-cleaned at least once a year.” She left $3 million for its upkeep.
Also receiving money: her chauffeur, Nicholas Celea ($100,000). The rest will go to the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
So, if you’re keeping track of her priorities: The dog gets $12 million. The good grandkids get $5 million, her mausoleum get $3 million, her driver gets $100,000 and her other grandkids get nothing.
Rest in peace, Leona.

She must have been a BITTER OLD WOMAN….
This begs the question…what did the ‘bad’ grandkids do? Inguiring minds want to know!
What did the ‘bad’ grandkids do? Maybe what did they NOT do, like bow down before Queen Leona?
First of all, perhaps who ever is writing all of these articles regarding Leona’s will should ACTUALLY READ THE DAMN WILL!
The will does NOT provide $12m for the Dog. It provides $12m for general expenses which include the dog. The only mention of the dog in the entire will is who the dog should actually go to upon Leona’s death, and authorization for the dog to be buried in her mausoleum.
She only excluded 2 of her 4 grandchildren.
READ THE WILL BEFORE REMARKING ON IT!!!!!!!!!
Believe there are some family members that should be excluded from inheriting – those that have a sense of entitlement yet not playing the role of a family member. This past weekend my 65 year old brother showed up after being awol from family for decades to find out if my 85 year old mother who has been chronically ill for over 15 years intends to give him a share of her property!!!Guy has never ever bothered to so much as write a letter or call to see how his mother has been doing. If anything he has bad mouthed her as to what a bad mother she was to anyone who would listen but now want to get a piece of the pie.
So there are useless sons/daughters/grandchildren who need to be excluded in my opinion.
Cool…
SHE was a HORRIBLE WOMAN, SELFISH WOMAN.
There are OTHER animal FUNDS AND SHE GIVES HER DOG ALL THAT MONEY. I Know SHE LOVES HER DOG, BUT I BET THE DOG WOULDNT WANT THAT, OR ACCEPT THAT IF IT COULD. Alot of people may hate and wanna kill that dog, BUT I FOR SURE DON’T, I FEEL A BIT SORRY FOR THAT DOG, CAUSE IF I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON ID BE PISSED BECAUSE I CANT SHARE IT & WOULD LOVE TO SHARE IT TO THOSE IN NEED.! LIKE OTHER DOGS. NO DOG NEEDS THAT MUCH, THE DOG PROB. For sure WOULD KNOW THAT TOO. I WOULD NEVER THAT MUCH MONEY TO MYSELF.!! MAYBE 10,000 FOR THE DOG BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER ANIMALS, SUCH AS POOR LOVING DOGS, SHE DIDNT GIVE ANY TO CHARITY. I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS THE WOMAN, BUT THERE IS A PRETTY BAD BITCH WHO DID THAT. I THINK SHE IS HORRIBLE. THERE ARE OTHER ANIMALS AND PEOPLE WHO NEED MONEY. THAT DOG PROB. MOSTTT DEFFF. WOULDNT WANT ALL THAT MONEY AND WOULD FOR SURE SHARE IT TO THE HOMELESS & CANCER, TUMORS, FUNDS FOR ANIMALS. YOU KNOW, THAT DOESNT MAKE HER A GOOD PERSON. SHE WAS EVIL BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP, YES, HER FAMILY DIDNT LIKE HER, AND CRAP, BUT THAT WASNT NICE TO ALL THE OTHER LOVING ANIMALS AND PEOPLE!!!!!

Lol :/ omg that woman ish scary
Lmfao xD
yo man where my popeyes and kfc yo damn i swear that lady is a hoe
I dont know what to fear more an old crazy lady or the fact that you were related to the old crazy lady. Money or not into mind that dosent bother me cuz its only a morla possession, not one of emotional value. I once lived a live of being an outcast so i can realte to their experiences but without the money factor.
But just rememeber, money isnt what makes life worth living. That is held in the heart or in the soul of lovers. So leave the dog with it all and live a life without a bitter feeling.
