New York hotelier and real estate billionaire has left USD 12 M to her pet dog, BBC reported.

The animal, called Trouble, received the largest share of Leona Helmsley's will, while two of her grandchildren have been entirely cut out "for reasons, which are known to them".

The pet's money is to be held by the brother of the deceased billionaire.

Mrs Helmsley has also left her chauffeur USD 100,000. Proceeds from the sale of her residences and belongings will go to a charitable trust.

The rich woman, who died last week, was dubbed the "Queen of Mean" by the media. She and her late husband owned a company and hotels all around the US.
