Indian billionaire wills £91m to his dog

Indian business mogul, Ratan Tata, who recently passed away at 86, has left £91 million to his German shepherd, Tito, in his will.
The man who is well respected in the business world for his role in transforming Tata Group into a global powerhouse, demonstrated his profound attachment to his pet and the loyalty of his longtime aides as his final wishes reflect.
Instead of bequeathing the majority of his wealth to his siblings, Jimmy Tata and half-sisters, Shireen and Deanna Jejeebhoy, Tata ensured “unlimited care” for Tito, alongside considerable financial provisions for his former butler, Konar Subbiah, and cook, Rajan Shaw, who will care for the dog.
His close friend, Suhel Seth, noted that these arrangements exemplify Tata’s gratitude, ensuring both Subbiah and Shaw are financially secure for life.
During Tata’s tenure, the Tata Group expanded significantly, acquiring major brands like British tea company, Tetley in 2000 for $432 million and Anglo-Dutch steelmaker, Corus in 2007 for $13 billion, marking the largest foreign acquisition by an Indian company at the time.
Tata’s passing leaves a legacy of not only business acumen but also deep loyalty to those closest to him.
