Leona Helmsley's dog Trouble may have walked off with a $12 million inheritance but the little pup has no use for artwork, silver, furniture and other items so these are being sold off at Christies. Around 500 lots of goods belonging to the late billionaire will be sprinkled throughout Christie's auctions this spring. Christie's has said that they expect to bring in a total of $4 to $6 million from the sales which will go to the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. The first sale items will hit the auction block this Friday in an auction of important American silver. You can pick up her Tiffany silverware which is estimated to sell for $20,000 to $30,000.
