This 'Hag' Left Over A Billion Dollars To Charity


Without any fanfare at all. John and Yoko Ono never gave a penny! Yoko once sent a check for fifty cents to John's eldest son tho. Julian framed it.

Well after YOKO dies I'm sure she will leave a fortune to charity too. You ARE aware Leona left $12 million to her dog, and a billion to other canine causes aren't you?

I don't think she left A BILLION to her Canines.. My point was that Ms. Leona refused her vanity and did it UNDER THE TABLE. The public didn't find out about her charitable contributions until long after she died and then it was "leaked". She never wanted anyone to know. She could have made it easy to make her reputation pretty by throwing money at charities while she was alive. She could have had the press there there like John and Yoko did. John and Yoko didn't take a crap if there wasn't a camera there to catch all the breathless action. It's also well known (and documented) that the couple barely gave a cent to charity and the one time they did there was practically pandemonium in the press.

Hey Ya'll, Mama's Fryin' Taters!

Bully for her for leaving her fortune to charity. She would deserve more praise if she'd paid her taxes and treated her employees decently.
