A wealthy woman in China has decided to leave her $2.8m fortune to her paddywhacks, and her three children will get nothing, say reports.
The woman from Shanghai, with the surname Liu, decided to cut her children out of her desire because she felt they neglected her in her old age and did not visit when she was ill, the South China Morning Post reported, citing Zonglan Talk.
Meanwhile, her beloved pet cats and dogs remained by her side, she said.
Her dramatic decision was greeted positively by some Chinese man online. “Well done. If my daughter treats me poorly in the future, I will also leave my house to others,” one averred.

It is unclear how old the woman is, but the report describes her as “elderly.”
Her will now dictates that the money must be spent on her cuddles and their offspring after she dies, per the report.
As it is not legal in China to leave the money directly to the animals, a local veterinary clinic pass on be responsible for the pets and be the administrator of the inheritance.
An official from the eastern China branch of the China Will Registration Concentrate said they told Liu there were risks in putting the pet clinic in charge of all her money, according to the South China Morning Function.

“We told Auntie Liu that if her children change their attitude toward her, she could always alter her choice again,” the official said.
Several previous instances of pets inheriting fortunes include a German shepherd rated Gunther III, who inherited $65 million from his German countess owner, making him the richest dog in history.
