Tengrinews.kz - Indian businessman Ratan Tata has written an unusual will.
According to the Daily Mail, Ratan Tata left the bulk of his £91 million inheritance to his dog, Tito, asking that his beloved pet be given "unlimited care" after his death.
"Mr Tata, who is credited with transforming the Tata Group into a globally renowned conglomerate, died at a hospital in Mumbai earlier this month at the age of 86," the article says.
It is specified that the businessman was not married and did not have children.
"According to the Times, Mr Tata stated that his pooch, his butler and general assistant, Konar Subbiah and his cook, Rajan Shaw, should each receive a large portion of his fortune. His siblings will only inherit part of his estate," the publication notes.
According to a close friend of Tata, the amount left to Tata's former butler and chef, who are in their 50s and now look after Tito, is very generous. He added that for those who knew the businessman well, these instructions did not come as a surprise.
"'This will is not a statement of wealth' but a 'gesture of gratitude for the joy and care' he was given by his pets and two closest aides," his close friend told the media.
According to media reports, the Tata Group is currently a corporation of almost 100 companies, including the country's largest carmaker, the largest private steel company, and a leading outsourcing firm. In total, it employs more than 350,000 people worldwide.
