"Alexander McQueen wanted to ensure that his beloved dogs would be taken care of after he was gone; in the late designer&amp;apos;s will, released Tuesday, he left $82,000 for his three dogs, according to the BBC.\r\n\r\nThe pooches -- named Minter, Juice and Callum, according to the Daily Telegraph -- each received the same amount as McQueen&amp;apos;s two housekeepers. The animal lover -- who hanged himself in Feb. 2010 at age 40 -- also donated $164,000 to four charities: The Terrence Higgins Trust, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, the London Buddhist Centre and animal-welfare charity Blue Cross.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nKim Hamilton, chief executive of The Blue Cross, said the McQueen&amp;apos;s donation was &amp;quot;a touching tribute&amp;quot; which highlighted his &amp;quot;obvious love for dogs.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHis entire fortune was worth an estimated $26 million; McQueen also gifted his nieces and nephews the same amount he gave his dogs. His two brothers, three sisters and godson each received around $410,000.&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe remainder of his estate was placed in a trust for his Sarabande charity, which makes grants to people and organizations in need.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
