American tabloids report the death of the richest dog in the world. Trouble, a Maltese lapdog, who inherited a $ 12 million inheritance four years ago, has died in Florida. The millionaire lapdog died at the age of 12, which, according to the media, in terms of human age is equivalent to 84 years.

Death occurred in December 2010, but representatives of the millionaire dog told about it only now.

Recall that Trouble received an inheritance of $ 12 million in August 2007, when the widow of one of the largest owners of real estate in New York, Leon Helmsley, who received the nickname "queen of stinginess" for her nasty character, died at the age of 87 from a heart attack.

In the last years of his life, the dog's health deteriorated significantly. It is known that by the time of her death she was completely blind; the cause of death was cardiac arrest. According to a spokesperson for the lapdog, the dog's body was cremated.

Where the ashes of the lapdog was buried is not reported. Leona Helmsley herself intended to bury her pet in the family mausoleum in the vicinity of New York, but her relatives were able to ensure that this item was not included in the will.

Trouble was the main heiress of Leona Helmsley. The billionaire's brother got two million less than a lapdog. Helmsley's grandchildren were bequeathed five million each, subject to a number of conditions. Two of her grandchildren, Leon Helmsley, did not include in the will at all, but later they managed to sue six million each, writes Lenta.ru.

A few months after the death of her mistress, Trouble changed her place of residence, as she began to receive threatening letters. In total, the dog is believed to have received between 20 and 30 death threats. In 2008, the court ruled to withdraw 10 million from the lapdog's inheritance and transfer the funds to a charitable foundation.
