Benjamin Franklin

Ben Franklin was a smart man in many ways, but we have to wonder what he was thinking when he drew up his will. He generously left his daughter 408 diamonds — on the condition that she never turn them into jewelry "and thereby introduce... the expensive, vain, and useless fashion of wearing jewels in this country."

That's just cruel, dad. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.

Dusty Springfield

'60s pop singer Dusty Springfield left very specific instructions in her will. Not about her estate or family, of course, but about her cat! Springfield's will demanded that her cat, Nicholas, be fed imported baby food, live in an indoor tree house, be sung to sleep at night with Dusty's old records, have his bed lined with Dusty's pillowcase and nightgown, and get married to a friend's female cat. All her wishes came true.
