The fashion powerhouse left £50,000 to his dogs which equates to approximately $82,000 American dollars, as reported by the BBC (via E! News). It's only fitting actually based on a magazine interview two years ago when he told Arena Homme+, "My dogs are the only thing in the world I really trust."
The animal lover didn't just stop there. He bequeathed £100,000 (about $164,000) each to four charities such as Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and the Blue Cross animal welfare charity.
