The Queen of what?!

| | Comments (0)

Last week, hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, of "only little people pay taxes" fame, died at age 87.

This week, we learned that she left $12 million to her 8-year-old Maltese named Trouble.

Two of her grandchildren received zilch for "reasons known to them," according to her will.

Twelve million to her dog. Zero to two of her grandchildren.

To be fair, she loved the dog. Her Romanian housekeeper -- what, you don't have a Romanian housekeeper? -- told the New York Daily News that Helmsley shared her bed with Trouble and believed her late husband Harry communicated to her through the dog.

"I never saw a human being so in love with an animal," the housekeeper said. They were always together everywhere. ... She would lick the dog tongue to tongue. It was unnatural. It was unhealthy."

She was known as the Queen of Mean.

And she will be remembered at the Queen of Loopy.
