Gail Posner’s dogs
Miami heiress Gail Posner left her three dogs a $3 million trust and the right to continue living in her mansion – sparking a massive legal dispute in the process. Posner’s will provided for her animals as well as her staff, with her bequests to employees totaling $26 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. Posner’s son disputed the will in court, arguing that his mother was taken advantage of by her staff while she was dying. He also alleged that staff members convinced his mother to push a media narrative that her chihuahua, Conchita, was spoiled, in an effort to justify leaving a fortune to her pets.
