Alexander McQueen leaves some of his savings to his pet dogs
Late designer Alexander McQueen has left £50,000 for the good care of his dogs as part of his will, it’s been revealed.
The 40 year old took his very own life in February 2010 though the details of his will have only just been revealed. He was seriously worth £16 million, nearly all of which was left to charities, with his own housekeepers as well as family members also being bequeathed money.
£50,000 was left within a trust for his bull terriers to make sure that they spend the rest of their lives getting pampered with the very best dog supplies such as luxury dog beds and also dog toys.
McQueen was in fact generally known as an animal lover, and his will mirrors that with £100,000 left each to the Blue Cross and the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Spencer Wisdom, legacy manager in the animal home said: “Alexander was a devoted animal lover and a great supporter of Battersea, and we know he would be so proud to see his generous donation helping care for the thousands of dogs and cats at Battersea in need of a new home.”
