| MURIEL SIEBERT |
Muriel Siebert, who died of cancer at age 84 in August, gave friend Lynda Fox-Frazer, of East 80th Street, $100,000 to care for her pooch.
“I request that my dog not be left alone for long periods of time during the day,” the Wall Street icon writes in her will, filed in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court today.
She also gave $10,000 to The Animal Medical Center in Manhattan, to be gifted while Monster Girl is still living.
The never married, childless Siebert left a $48 million fortune, according to filings in Manhattan Surrogates Court.
The majority of the cash will go to the Muriel F. Siebert Foundation, which “supports the furtherance of education in personal financial literacy and the humane support of animals,” specifically animals “owned by the elderly who are financially challenged,” states the will, filed yesterday and made public today.
Siebert left her only sibling, sister Elaine Siebert, a $1.5 million trust.
The trailblazer, who first muscled her way into the boy’s club of Wall Street in 1967 buying a spot for $445,000, was also very generous to her friends.
George Jones of the West Village was gifted $360,000, while girlfriends Patricia Francy, Jane Macon, June Jaffee, Lynda Fox-Frazer, Beverly Negrean, and Barbara Gordon received all Siebert’s jewelry.
They each also get to choose three items of her personal property, as long as they agree among themselves.
If they don’t, the executors of her estate will make the decision, her will stipulates.
Siebert was long a champion of women’s equality, fighting to get a ladies restroom on the seventh floor of the Stock Exchange and fighting sexism at Manhattan’s elite private clubs.
Siebert left $50,000 and ceramics made by her mother to a museum that supports women artists.
