Murder suspect, Luigi Mangione’s grandma bequeathed $30m to her family but he may never benefit from it
The grandma of UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione left her family at least $30 million in her will but the suspect may not benefit from it.
This is because the old woman specified in her will that anyone “charged, indicted, convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony” would be cut out from her inheritance.
Philanthropist, Mary C. Mangione accumulated her wealth in a trust that could be accessed by her 10 children, including Luigi’s father, Louis, when she passed away in 2023, according to her will, seen by multiple US news agencies.
The Baltimore, Maryland millionaire, however, put a special condition in her will to cut off any heirs who had been charged with “heinous” or “violent” crimes, which could leave Luigi, 26, broke for allegedly gunning down Brian Thompson, a father of two.
“It is my precatory desire that the Trustees particularly consider invoking their discretion to implement this Section if the felony is a common law felony, a statutory felony if it is the codification of a common law felony, a heinous felony, any felony involving a physically violent act against another person or property or any drug related felony involving distribution or intent to distribute any type of drug or illegal substance,” the will states.
The will adds that the decision to cut off anyone found guilty of such crimes “is conclusive, final and binding on everyone.”
The section of the will continuously reiterated Mary’s wishes to keep her estate out of the hands of any would-be bad eggs in her family.
While Mary’s estate is believed to be worth at least $30 million, the will estimates that its total value could be closer to $100 million, but the document does not state exactly how much she left behind.
The family wealth made it possible for Luigi to go to the expensive Gilman School, after which he attended the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution.
Luigi, who was arrested on Monday, has pleaded not guilty to charges levied against him, including murder and gun possession.
