Queen of Mean Leaves $12 Million to Trouble
...and by trouble, we don't mean the help. [rimshot]
Leona Helmsley left $12 Million to her adorable pooch, Trouble (cute name). However, two of her four grandchildren get nada. Sounds like the Queen of Mean is still working her evil magic from her posh stained-glassed mausoleum. Nice.
Sadly, this reminds us of Sean Wilsey's exquisitely penned memior, Oh the Glory of It All.

TWO of her FOUR grandchildren get nothing. The other two get $5 million each as long as they visit their father's grave once a year. The other two were cut off "for reasons known to them" (incidentally, the same wording Joan Crawford used. I suspect a book deal will be in the making before the end of the week).
I'm sure her dog brought more joy to her than those crumbsnatchers ever did.
#2 - Thanks. Specified two of four.
Crumbsnatchers would be an awesome name for a dog, no?
So what the hell happened to the rest of the $5 billion her husband left her?
i read on some other site that the 'unspecified reasons' were because one grandson decided to be an artist instead of a stockbroker, and the granddaughter got taken out because she was a lesbian and that didn't sit well with the old lady. for the rest of the money, something like $4 billion went to her charity fund.
Well, it's only fitting that she leaves her money to another bitch.
Hmm. I'd be pretty irritated if my kid decided to be an "artist." Get a job, ya bum (sorry, I know too many slackers posing as "artists"), and quit thinking you'll cash in when I croak. Yeah, I'd probably cut him off, too.
