Ratan Tata Leaves £91 Million To His Dog In Surprising Will
Mumbai, India.
Indian billionaire and visionary entrepreneur Ratan Tata, who recently passed away at the age of 86, has made headlines with the startling revelation that he bequeathed £91 million to his beloved German shepherd, Tito, in his will.
While many expected that Tata would allocate1 his estate2 to his siblings3—Jimmy Tata and half-sisters Shireen and Deanna Jejeebhoy—he instead chose to prioritize the needs of Tito. The provisions in Tata’s will provide for “unlimited4 care” for his pet, showcasing his bond with the dog.
In addition to Tito’s generous inheritance, Tata’s will ensures that his former butler, Konar Subbiah, and chef, Rajan Shaw, are also taken care of, indicating a strong sense of appreciation5 for their devoted6 service over the years. This notable generosity7 means that both men will likely never have to work again. In contrast, the portions assigned to Tata’s siblings are considerably8 smaller.
