Luigi Mangione's Grandmother Left Huge Inheritance, Arrest Could Cut Him Off
Luigi Mangione‘s grandmother left behind tens of millions of dollars to her family … but now there’s a strong chance Luigi will be iced out of the will after being charged with murder.
According to documents obtained by TMZ … Mary C. Mangione — a philanthropist and grandmother of the alleged murderer — left behind an estate worth at least $30 million to be distributed among her 10 children.
The docs insinuate the number might be much higher than $30 million — perhaps even north of $100 million, though it doesn’t say exactly how much she left behind when she passed in 2023 … it’s all pretty technical.
Unfortunately for Luigi, he might’ve just thrown away his chunk of the family fortune … ’cause the money was put in a trust, where the trustees — one of whom is Luigi’s father Louis — have the power to make distributions. But, there’s a specific provision about being charged with a crime that would seemingly prevent him from getting a penny.
The document states the trustees can withhold the money if the person who would receive it has been “charged, indicted, convicted of or pleads guilty to a felony.”
As you know, Luigi was charged this week with multiple felonies — including the murder of UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson — thus seemingly giving the trustees the power to cut Luigi out of any money he might have otherwise received.

Not only does it give trustees the power to remove someone from the will, Mary Mangione made it particularly clear she wanted to cut off any heirs charged with “heinous” or “violent” crimes … saying she had a strong wish the “benefit of the doubt is not given to the individual.” So, Mama Mangione had no time for ne’er-do-wells.
Her will has only recently been probated, so it’s unclear what the trustees will do, but it doesn’t look good for Luigi.
Of course, Mangione was taken into custody earlier this week in Altoona, PA after someone in a McDonald’s recognized him and called the police.
He’s currently locked up in SCI Huntingdon — a prison just outside Altoona, PA — where he’s currently being kept separate from other inmates.
Mangione’s family has remained largely quiet on his arrest … outside of a short statement saying they’ve only heard what the media has reported, and couldn’t comment beyond saying they mourned the death of Thompson.
Luigi’s reading list on the popular site Goodreads seems to indicate some strife with his parents … ’cause it looks like he added the book ‘Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.’ Unclear if they really do have issues or if it was purely an academic read.
We’ve reached out to family members and the lawyer for the estate about the will … so far, no word back.

Austin airport to nearly double in size over next decade
AUSTIN, Texas – Austin-Bergstrom International Airport will nearly double in size over the next decade.
The airport currently has 34 gates. With the expansion projects, it will increase by another 32 gates.
What they’re saying:
Southwest, Delta, United, American, Alaska, FedEx, and UPS have signed 10-year use-and lease agreements, which outline how they operate at the airport, including with the expansion.
“This provides the financial foundation that will support our day-to-day operations and help us fund the expansion program that will reshape how millions of travelers experience AUS for decades to come,” Ghizlane Badawi, CEO of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, said.
Concourse B, which is in the design phase, will have 26 gates, estimated to open in the 2030s. Southwest Airlines will be the main tenant with 18 gates, United Airlines will have five gates, and three gates will be for common use. There will be a tunnel that connects to Concourse B.
“If you give us the gates, we will bring the planes,” Adam Decaire, senior VP of Network Planning & Network Operations Control at Southwest Airlines said.
“As part of growing the airport, you see that it’s not just us that’s bragging about the success we’re having. It’s the airlines that want to use this airport, and they see advantage in their business model of being part of this airport, and that’s why they’re growing the number of gates they’re using,” Mayor Kirk Watson said.
Dig deeper:
The airport will also redevelop the existing Barbara Jordan Terminal, including the ticket counters, security checkpoints, and baggage claim. Concourse A will be home to Delta Air Lines with 15 gates. American Airlines will have nine gates, and Alaska Airlines will have one gate. There will be eight common-use gates.
“Delta is making a long-term investment in Austin-Bergstrom that will transform travel for years to come,” Holden Shannon, senior VP for Corporate Real Estate at Delta Air Lines said.
The airport will also build Concourse M — six additional gates to increase capacity as early as 2027. There will be a shuttle between that and the Barbara Jordan Terminal. Concourse M will help with capacity during phases of construction.
There will also be a new Arrivals and Departures Hall, with more concessions and amenities. They’re also working to bring rideshare pickup closer to the terminal.
City officials say these projects will bring more jobs.
The expansion is estimated to cost $5 billion — none of which comes from taxpayer dollars. This comes from airport revenue, possible proceeds, and FAA grants.
“We’re seeing airlines really step up to ensure they are sharing in the infrastructure costs at no cost to Austin taxpayers, and so we’re very excited about that as well,” Council Member Vanessa Fuentes (District 2) said.
