L
uigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, comes from a wealthy real estate family with a long history in Baltimore. His grandfather, Nick Mangione Sr., was a self-made multimillionaire developer who built two golf courses and had ten children, each achieving success in various fields. Luigi's family has also contributed millions to healthcare, despite his alleged motives for the murder being rooted in perceived corruption within the industry.

    Nick Mangione Sr.'s rags-to-riches story is well-known, having risen from poverty after his father's death at a young age. He once said, "I didn't have two nickels to rub together when my father died when I was 11, yet I still became a millionaire." Luigi, an Ivy League graduate, is one of his 37 grandchildren, including Nino Mangione, who serves in Maryland's House of Delegates.

    Following Luigi's arrest, the family released a statement expressing shock and devastation. They offered prayers to Brian Thompson's family and asked for support for all involved. The family's philanthropic efforts are at odds with Luigi's alleged motives, which included challenging "alleged corruption" and "power games" in healthcare.
