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.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
