According to Fashionology, the documents made public today state that the designer left $410,000 each to his three sisters and two brothers, $82,000 each to his two housekeepers for their “long and faithful service,” his godson, each of his nieces and nephews and $82,000 to his beloved dogs for their upkeep for the rest of their lives.

McQueen also left $164,000 each to two charities that help animals ― the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and Blue Cross sick animal center ― and $164,000 each to the London Buddhist Center and the Terrence Higgins Trust.

The bulk and remainder of his estate was left to his Sarabande Charity asking that they consider using this money to fund bursaries and grants for students at Central St. Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, where he studied fashion.
