Judge Redistributes Leona Helmsley’s Estate to Charity
June 17, 2008 | Read Time: 1 minute
The Manhattan Surrogate Court has channeled $10-million of the $12-million the hotel mogul Leona Helmsley bequeathed to her dog to a charitable foundation, reports the Associated Press.
Mrs. Helmsley had left the money to her dog, Trouble, in her will, when she died last August. The judge said most of the money should go to the foundations Mrs. Helmsley established. It is not clear how much more of her estate will go to the foundation, but estimates are that a big chunk will go to charity.
