I’m not finding anything about a billionaire family or his potential $100 million inheritance. While there’s no denying he grew up in a wealthy family, the online speculation articles are mostly guessing at the value of his grandmother’s estate - which would be divided among 10 children. It all looks like guesswork.

Any legit sources for Luigi Mangione’s net worth?

The family legacy from a credible source:

The numbers I got from the NY Post, so I doubt they’re exact, but they’re not unreasonable given the BBC article. I edited to remove them from my comment anyway.

That says NOTHING about net worth.

His grandfather owned so much of Baltimore in the 70s that people asked if he was in the mafia. His family owns country clubs, golf resorts, and assisted living facilities, and has donated $1M to a family center hospital.

Like I said, they can afford an attorney.

Guess what? People aren't their families and we don't know what his relationship with them is.

He may well not be on the best of terms with the rich members of his family, being the good kind of class traitor and all..
