The Queen of Mean has done it again. Trouble will reign.

Leona Helmsley has left her eight-year-old dog a $12 million inheritance. Under the will, Helmsley's brother gets $15 million, and her grandchildren get nothing. However it should be noted, most of the billion dollar fortune will go to a charitable trust.

It seems fitting that the Maltese now faces a lawsuit to go along with her new worth. Zamfira Sfara, Helmsley's former housekeeper, is looking into suing the dog for allegedly biting her numerous times.

Sfara has sued Helmsley once before for her alleged injuries. Is Helmsley taking a stab at the housekeeper from her grave by awarding the money to a dog? Probably not... it's more likely that Helmsley truly believed the money was a suitable inheritance for her favorite pet.

And of course, the plot thickens. In the will, Helmsley asked that her brother take care of the dog. He's refusing. A million dollar dog that's having a hard time making friends... must be trouble.

The New York Times describes the lifestyle of the city's most infamous dog, "Like many New Yorkers, she is well fed, well groomed and well medicated (for her thyroid and kidney troubles)."

As a proud dog owner, I can sympathize with why Helmsley would want to ensure a comfortable (really, really, really luxurious) future for her pet. But of course, I don't know anything about amassing a large fortune, so I cannot say what I would do with one in the event of my death.

Now that Helmsley's will has been read, many are asking if it's appropriate to leave a chunk of money to their pets. I'm sure I'm in the majority when I say, companionship is more important than money, even when it comes to pampered pooches.

The moral of the story... money can't buy you love. Even if you're a dog and your best friend is a billionaire.
