Her death in February 2007 from an accidental drug overdose caused a media frenzy, compounded by the paternity battle over her baby daughter Dannielynn between her lawyer, Howard K. Stern and her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who was ultimately shown through DNA testing to be the child's father.

Leona Helmsley Last Will and Testament

Leona, often called the 'Queen of Mean', knew the meaning of upward mobility. She was the daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants who married well - several times. She also worked her way up to the level of vice-president in a New York real estate brokerage firm.
In 1968 she met multi-millionaire entrepreneur Harry Helmsley and in 1970 she joined one of his brokerages. In 1972 Harry divorced his wife and married Leona, and she set about running his expanding hotel empire.
Leona faced legal problems throughout her professional life, ultimately being convicted of income tax evasion in 1989 for which she served 18 months in prison. She was quoted as having said, "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."
In her Will, she left a $12 million trust fund to her Maltese dog. This was later reduced by the Courts to $2 million.

Doris Duke (1912-1993) was an American heiress, horticulturalist, art collector and philanthropist.
When Doris was just 12 years old, her father died and left her a fortune estimated at about $100 million. At the age of 14, she took her mother to court and successfully prevented her from selling the family's 2,700 acre estate.
When Duke came of age, she used her wealth to pursue a variety of interests, including extensive world travel and the arts. During World War II, she worked in a canteen for sailors in Egypt, taking a salary of one dollar a year. She apparently spoke nine languages.
In 1945, Duke began a short-lived career as a foreign correspondent for the International News Service, reporting from different cities across the war-ravaged Europe. After the war, she moved to Paris and wrote for the magazine Harper's Bazaar.
While living in Hawaii, Duke became the first woman to take up competition surfing. A lover of animals, in particular her dogs and pet camels, in her later years Duke became a wildlife refuge supporter, an environmental conservationist, and a patron of historic preservation.
