How it was willed

The great-grandfather of Gunther VI inherited the sum about 30 years ago when its committed owner willed it, Business Journals reports.
How the wealth is passed down
For decades, a group of handlers has been guarding the fortune to ensure that only the Gunther bloodline enjoys the wealth in a life of great comfort.
Some of the wealth was used to buy a home that is now up for sale for $31.75 million (GHc194,613,847.50).
It should be noted that the house is not the dog’s main home as it has one in Italy. The dog’s real estate listing is being supervised by Ruthie and Ethan Assouline.

Man plans to sell dog for N1.1m
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Nigerian man with the social media handle @KidMarleymusic stirred massive conversation after offering to sell a dog for N1.1m.
He said that the dog is 6 months old. Many people could not just help but wonder why such a pet would be so expensive.
Many people jokingly asked if he wants to sell a house, a dog, or both as they just could not place buying the animal for that much.
