The pet has been left £6million in the will of her owner, hotels guru Leona Helmsley, who died last week, aged 87.
The US businesswoman made her fortune from the group but was jailed for 18 months in 1989 for tax evasion.
During the trial her housekeeper said Helmsley once told her: 'Only the little people pay taxes.'
Helmsley earned the title 'Queen of Mean' for her attitude towards staff – a nickname some close relatives could be repeating this week after coming off badly in the will.
Two of her four grandchildren were left nothing for 'reasons known to them', according to the document.
However, the other two are each to be given £2.5million – but only on condition that they visit their dead father's grave once a year.
Helmsley's brother, Alvin Rosenthal, was also promised millions after being named carer for Trouble. The businesswoman left £50,000 for her chauffeur, Nicholas Celea.
