The World's Richest Dog... Just Got Richer!

What happens when a heiress passes away? She bequeaths everything to her beloved dogs!

Miami heiress Gail Posner, who passed away from cancer at the age of 67, has willed the majority of her money and property, including her mansion and fancy cars, to her beloved dogs. Of the three pooches, the Chihuahua, Conchita, remains her favourite and has been given a trust fund of $3 million with its very own host of personal assistants.

Ms Posner’s thoughtfulness and generosity towards her dogs extended all the way to her service staff – The New York Post reports that Gail Posner left her $8.3 million Miami mansion and a $3 million trust fund to her dogs. She also left $26 million and the right to live in her mansion rent-free to care for the dogs to seven of her personal assistants, including bodyguards and housekeepers.

Sadly, her only son, Bret Carr, was left with $1 million which looks simply miserly compared to how her dogs made out. Carr is currently contesting his mother’s will and has filed a lawsuit asking that it be revoked. He also accused her aides of drugging her in a conspiracy to obtain control over her assets and wealth.

But let’s not forget that Ms Posner was the woman who once pondered buying a new Range Rover for her beloved Conchita. However, as she explained in a February 2009 interview with the Broward and Palm Beach newspaper New Times, she decided to give her dogs a hand-me-down instead.

And why is she getting her own Range Rover? What color does she want?

We actually have made the decision not to get her the Range Rover. Instead, I got a new car and gave her the Escalade. She, along with her two sisters, gets driven in it to and from their weekly puppy spa appointment, where they get manis and pedis. The Escalade is gold.

So much for being the only son!
