My husband's grandmother is buried in the same cemetary (so much for her contempt for "the little people" -- they're buried all around her!) and I've seen the Helmsley resting place. It's as ridiculous as she was. The dog trust is just unreal. And that mausaleum is an eyesore!

Nuh-uh. Bitch could have at least left a few mill to an animal shelter, as you noted. It really boggles the mind how some humans can be so mean-minded and short-sighted. Perhaps... deliberately? After all, at the very least Madame Helmsley has guaranteed to garner post-mortem publicity for herself; but I hope her name eventually sinks into well-deserved obscurity as time goes by. *checks wristwatch* I can understand leaving money for a beloved dog’s keep/maintenance/etc. until it dies, but beyond that?

Oh, and PS for $5 Mill.....I'd visit that gravesite as many times as they wanted! But, how do you keep track of that, do they have to check in with the caretaker? Yeah, I’m leaving it all to Snoopy….!

Reminds me of my own grandmother on a smaller scale. I guess her stint in prison did absolutely nothing for her. Yeah, she’s a whack job. Reminds me of my own grandmother on a smaller scale.

That money could have been used for many more important things like feeding the hungry, or sponsoring several thousand hungry children across the world. There is only so much you can buy for a dog anyways. Stories like this just make me shake my head. I guess it was her money, so she could decide what she wantedt to do with it. It is really terrible.

Of all the charities in the world she could have given that money to, she gives it to her dog?? Crazy old bat. Actually I think the brother Alvin Rosenthal (appointed Trouble's caregiver) probably has a pretty good case to obtain the money eventually. I read that this morning and went, WTH?
