Trouble was a small, mixed-breed dog known for her playful and mischievous nature. She gained fame as the pet of the late hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, who was often referred to as the "Queen of Mean." Trouble was a Maltese and was often seen accompanying Helmsley, enjoying a life of luxury. After Helmsley's passing in 2007, Trouble became a subject of media attention due to her inheritance of a significant trust fund. The dog was left $12 million, which sparked discussions about pet inheritance and the legalities surrounding it. Trouble's life highlighted the bond between pets and their owners.
