<P> In a judgment (published on June 16, 2008), Manhattan Surrogate Court Judge Renee Roth ruled that Helmsley was mentally unfit when she executed her will . Hence, the Court, amid settlement, reduced the $12 million trust fund for the pet Trouble to $2 million . Of the $10 million originally bequeathed to Trouble, $4 million was awarded to the Charitable Trust, and $6 million was awarded to Craig and Meegan Panzirer, who had been disinherited by the will . The ruling requires the Panzirers to keep silent about their dispute with their grandmother and deliver to the court any documents they have about her . It has been alleged that they were omitted from the will because they failed to name any of their children after Helmsley's late husband . </P> <P> She left $15 million for her brother Alvin Rosenthal . Helmsley also left $100,000 to her chauffeur, Nicholas Celea . </P> <P> Helmsley acquired the moniker "The Queen of Mean", reportedly inspired after an advertising campaign promoting her as the "Queen of the Palace" of the Helmsley Palace Hotel . Helmsley became known by this nickname in the mainstream press . </P> <P> Helmsley was known for "tyrannizing her employees". According to Alan Dershowitz, while breakfasting with her at one of the Helmsley hotels, the waiter brought him a cup of tea with a tiny bit of water spilled on the saucer . She grabbed the cup from him and smashed it on the floor, then demanded that the waiter get down on his hands and knees and beg for his job ." In another account of Helmsley's behavior, she had a barbecue pit constructed for her home . The work was performed by Eugene Brennan, a personal friend of Jeremiah McCarthy, the chief engineer of Helmsley - Spear . When the final bill came to $13,000, she refused to pay, citing shoddy workmanship . When McCarthy pleaded with her to honor the bill, citing the favor done on his behalf and informing her that Brennan had six children to support, Helmsley replied, "Why didn't he keep his pants on? Then he wouldn't need the money". </P>
