Leona Helmsley's pampered pooch "Trouble," who inherited $12 million from the real estate mogul, has died at the age of 12.
That's 84 in dog years.
Like many Americans, the pampered Maltese retired to Florida in 2007, shortly after Helmsley died.
Carl Lekic, the general manager of the Helmsley Sandcastle hotel in Sarasota, cared for her.
"Trouble was cremated, and her remains are being privately retained," spokeswoman Eileen Sullivan said.
"The funds held in trust for her care have reverted to The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for charitable purposes."
Trouble, one of the world's richest dogs, died in December, following a series of health setbacks that left her blind and infirm, sources said.
