    Leona Helmsley bequeathed $12 million to her beloved dog, Trouble. Two of Helmsley's grandchildren will receive nothing.
    Trouble (Leona Helmsley's dog): $12 million

    How sad is it to see that a dog makes more money in a year than most of us will ever see in our lifetime. No silly, I'm not talking about Dr. Phil, even though I was kind of surprised to see that he makes that much. Oprah continues to be a force to be reckoned with.
