Lifestyles of the rich and famous just added a new member: Bella, a 3-year-old Maltese.

The pampered pooch is reportedly one of the richest dogs in the world and lives better than most people. With a $100,000-a-year-allowance, Bella gets to spend her day at the spa for “pawdicures,” fancy haircuts and shopping sprees for designer clothes.  (A girl can dream.)

Oh, and she also is a trust-fund dog, which includes a Florida home for her. Yes, a dog gets her own home.

Bella struck it rich by pure chance. After Great Neck, New York owners Walter and Rose Ann Bolasny became empty nesters, they were ready to see the world. That all changed, when one of their sons decided to bring home a Maltese puppy.

“When he walked through the door with her it was love at first sight, Rose told the Daily Mail. “When I first saw her, and they put me in her arms my heart just melted.”

Now Rose refers to Bella as the “daughter she never had” and with that comes the lap of luxury for this pooch.

The pup has more than 1,000 outfits including ball gowns, skirts, trousers, pajamas, sweaters, Uggs and a lot of hats. She also has diamonds and pearls to accessorize her outfits. Her clothes, among other things, are all kept in her own bedroom, complete with a double bed.

For food — every dog’s favorite time — Bella is spoon-fed at the dinner table and accompanies the couple to five-star restaurants.

And while Bella is living the life, her owners wanted to ensure she would be taken care of if something happened to them. So, on the dog’s third birthday, they decided to change their will to include their four-legged daughter.

“Prior to doing it I discussed having Bella Mia included in the trust fund with my sons and they totally understood,” Rose told the outlet. So, Bella is now set to inherit a home in Florida. “My sons at that point were not part of that house because it’s a recent purchase.”

Despite living being one spoiled pooch, the owners do give back. Each week Bella makes an appearance at the Ronald McDonald House and various nursing homes.

“We love her with our whole heart and soul and what I love more about her is that she proves that beauty is not just a pretty face, beauty radiates from the inside out,” says the couple.
