Dogg Pound Gangsta



Some of you may have heard that Leona Helmsley, having upwards of 8 billion dollars in her estate before she died, decided to leave 12 million dollars to her DOG, Trouble. Yeah, thats a little whacked. Combined that with the fact Leona left her granchildren zero million dollars, or, in the parlance of our times--zilch, nada, bubkus, and we have the makings of an out of touch uber wealthy wilder.

It turns out the Leona is a real dog lover. According to the NY Times, before Leona made her way to the Kennel in the sky, she drafted a two page "mission statement" in order to rightly direct her multi-billion dollar estate. In sum, the mission statement out lines two goals for her loot. "The first goal was to help indigent people, the second to provide for the care and welfare of dogs. A year later, they said, she deleted the first goal." ... she deleted the first goal? The one about indigent people? To help dogs? Someone indigent person must've really pissed this chick off. She was straight up wildin.

What have we learned from Leona and her billions? Simply this: money, obscene amounts of Scrooge McDuck im gonna dive head first into my pile of gold money, brings the wilder out in people. More to the point, money completely alleviates the damage of societal consequnces for wildin decisions, essentially letting the wilder off her leash.
