Luigi Mangione‘s grandmother left tens of millions of dollars to her family… but now there’s a good chance Luigi will be cut out of the will after he’s charged with murder.
According to documents obtained by TMZ… Mary C. Mangione – a philanthropist and grandmother of the alleged killer – left an estate worth at least $30 million to be divided among her 10 children.
The documents insinuate that this amount could be much higher than $30 million – perhaps even north of $100 million, although it doesn’t say exactly how much she left behind when she passed away in 2023… it’s all quite technical.
Unfortunately for Luigi, he may have simply thrown away his share of the family fortune… because the money was put into a trust, where the trustees – including Luigi’s father Louis – have the power to make benefits. But there is a specific provision about being charged with a crime that would seemingly prevent him from getting a cent.
The document states that the trustees can withhold the money if the person who would receive it “has been charged, charged, convicted of or pleads guilty to a crime.”
As you know, that was Luigi charged this week with multiple crimes – including the murder of UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson – seemingly giving the trustees the power to cut Luigi off from any money he would otherwise have received.

Not only does it give trustees the power to cut someone out of the will, Mary Mangione made it particularly clear that she wanted to cut off any heirs accused of “heinous” or “violent” crimes… saying she had a strong wish that the ‘benefit’ of the doubt is not given to the individual.” So Mama Mangione had no time for things that did not go well.
Her will was only recently approved, so it’s unclear what the trustees will do, but things aren’t looking good for Luigi.
Of course, so was Mangione taken into custody earlier this week in Altoona, PA, after someone at a McDonald’s recognized him and called police.
He is currently incarcerated at SCI Huntingdon – a prison just outside of Altoona, PA – where he is currently kept separate from other inmates.
Mangione’s family has remained largely silent about his arrest… aside from a brief statement saying they only heard what the media reported, and could not comment further than to say they mourned the death of Thompson.
Luigi’s reading list on the popular site Goodreads seems to do just that indicate a conflict with his parents …because it looks like he added the book ‘Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents’. It’s not clear if they actually have problems or if it was purely an academic lecture.
We have contacted family members and the estate’s attorney about the will…so far no word back.
