UnitedHealthcare CEO Suspect Luigi Mangione Screwed Himself Out Of An Easy $30-Million
Luigi Mangione may have not only screwed himself away from ever seeing freedom again, but he likely will never ever touch a fortune that was set to come to him.
According to documents reviewed by TMZ, the murder suspect’s late grandma, Mary C. Mangione, was quite wealthy and had left behind a multi-million dollar fortune to be divided among her ten children and presumably to their heirs.
Unfortunately for Luigi, grandma was not a fan of crime, so she included a provision allowing trustees to disinherit any family member charged with a “violent” or “heinous” crime.
“The decision of the trustees (one of whom is Luigi’s father) is conclusive, final and binding on everyone,” the will read, as reported by Newsweek. “It is my precatory wish that the benefit of the doubt is not given to the individual.”
TMZ further reported that Luigi Mangione’s grandad, who passed away in 2008, built a successful real estate empire that included everything from nursing homes to country clubs to Baltimore-area hotels.
The family was loaded.
Despite their notoriety, his relatives have kept relatively quiet since he was arrested for the murder of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
“Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione,” the family said in a statement shared by his cousin, Maryland state delegate Nino Mangione. “We only know what we have read in the media. Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson, and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news.”
Thompson was shot dead as he walked alone to his company’s annual investor conference at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City.
To see Luigi Mangione go from where his life started to a possible murderer is something not many could’ve predicted.
The 26-year-old graduated valedictorian from the Gilman School, a private, all-boys high school in Baltimore in 2016. He then went on to receive his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020.
Luigi Mangione Suffered From Painful Back Condition
Luigi Mangione, the man charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, struggled with a terrible back condition.
The 26-year-old apparently had a pinched nerve.
“It can be easy to get caught up in the plethora of horror stories on the internet. When my spondy went bad on me last year (23M) it was completely devastating as a young athletic person,” Mangione allegedly wrote in a Reddit post dated Aug. 3, 2023. “Spondy” is shorthand for spondylolisthesis, a rare back condition.
R.J. Martin, founder of the co-living space the murder suspect resided in, told The New York Times that Mangione “knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible.”
He added that the back pain “constantly weighed on” him.
His issues with his back likely led to his decision to allegedly commit murder.
