10. Minter, Juice and Callum
TheDailyBeastFashion designer Alexander McQueen left a part of his $24 million fortune to his three dogs to make sure they would be looked after once he was gone. The three pups each have a share in $75,000 to make sure they are still being pampered after their owner’s death.
9. Tina and Kate
StayAtHomeMumTina and Kate are two border collies who inherited £450,000 when their owner Nora Hardwell died in 2002. Tina and Kate now run around the house left to them where they are looked after by Nora’s maintenance man Henry Escott. Henry was also left some money by Nora, however he received slightly less than the dogs, and was given £5,000.
