#5. Richest Dog Alive
When billionaire Leona Helmsley died in August, the tyrannical hotel
operator and real estate investor left a $12 million trust fund for her

Another source of family friction: Trouble received a bigger slice of
Leona's estate than her grandchildren. Two of them were allotted a total of
$10 million apiece, while the other two got zilch.
