Luigi Mangione’s grandmother bequeathed a substantial inheritance to her descendants, with the condition that they have not engaged in criminal activities. This stipulation is detailed in her will, which states that any descendant who has been charged, indicted, convicted of, or pleads guilty to a felony is excluded from receiving the inheritance.
Mary Mangione, a wealthy philanthropist from Baltimore and the spouse of real estate developer Nick Mangione, left an inheritance estimated at $30 million or more to her extensive family following her death in 2023. She had a significant family comprising 10 children and 37 grandchildren.
“I express my strong desire for the Trustees to carefully consider the enforcement of this provision in cases where the felony in question falls under specific categories, such as common law felonies, heinous felonies, felonies involving violent acts, or drug-related offenses like distribution,” the will outlines. It emphasizes that the Trustees’ decision on this matter is final and binding for all beneficiaries, with a clear instruction not to give the benefit of the doubt to any individual.
Luigi Mangione, her 26-year-old grandson, graduated valedictorian from the Gilman School, a private, all-boys high school in Baltimore, in 2016. He went on to receive his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020.
Luigi Mangione was taken into custody in Pennsylvania.
In New York, Mangione faces one count of murder, two counts of second-degree criminal weapons possession, one count of second-degree possession of a forged document and one count of third-degree criminal weapons possession.
In Pennsylvania, he faces one count of forgery, one count of carrying a firearm without a license, one count of tampering with records or identification, one count of possession of instruments of a crime and one count of presenting false ID to law enforcement, according to court documents.
