The details of  Alexander McQueen’s will have been released late last week, revealing that family, his pups and his charities were most important.

The designer, who committed suicide in February 2010, divided his $26 million fortune between his dogs, his family and his favorite charities and his alma mater, Central St. Martin.

Over $80,000 (£50,000) was left to care for his dogs Juice, Callum and Minter, the rest of the late designer’s sizable fortune was left to his five siblings ($407,500 each), his godson and nieces and nephews ($81,500 each), and the following charities: Terrence Higgins Trust, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, the London Buddhist Centre, and the Blue Cross animal welfare charity in Oxfordshire ($163,000 each).

McQueen left the same sum (£50,000) to his housekeepers, Marlene and Cesar Garcia. It was Cesar Garcia who found McQueen’s body.
