Hamptons real estate mogul Brandon Miller died $34M in debt with just $8K in the bank: report

Brandon Miller, the high-profile New York real estate developer who took his own life last month, was in even more dire financial straits than was initially revealed at the time of his death.

Miller, 43, who flaunted a high-flying Hamptons lifestyle bankrolled by millions of dollars in secret debt along with his influencer wife, Candace, was nearly $34 million in the red, with just $8,000 in his bank account, TheRealDeal reports.

Through Candace’s now-defunct lifestyle blog Mama + Tata, Miller presented a fairy-tale life for the world to see, playing the role of the lucky and affectionate head of an idyllic upper-crust family.

Candice — who palled around with the likes of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, stylist Rachel Zoe and Ivanka Trump, as well as her cousin, Something Navy fashion blogger Arielle Charnas — inspired both envy and resentment for showing off what on the surface appeared to be a perfect life.

But in reality, the family was living wildly beyond their means and massively overleveraged.

I think a lot more people are in the same predicament these days. Buying houses they can't afford, cars, and all kind of toys.

Page Six recently learned that Candace and the couple’s two young daughters are picking up the pieces and moving to Miami to start a new life.

Oh Dear Lord….. please, NO!

running through the last of your cash before committing suicide is not a surprise.

I’m surprised he didn’t take another day to use that last 8000 dollars.

A little closer to us ordinary folks, I drive every day wondering how all the people on the road around me are affording $3000 house payments and $750-$1000 car payments.

I have a 2004 Sonata, 2007 Sonata, 2017 Indian, all paid off a long time ago. Outside of a $465 mortgage payment (plus taxes and ins - not escrowed) we have no debt. Credit cards paid off every month. And yet somehow the amount of money going through our hands every month seems beyond my control....and growing.

My point? we are not wasteful, yet new cars and homes are well beyond our reach if we spend responsibly. I have to wonder if a whole bunch of families are living on the edge and could collapse economically collapse very quickly with little warning. Very disturbing.

Upon the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

people who flaunt their wealth are rarely actually wealthy, and if they are, they wont be for long.

Read the article and I saw this: cash advance service Funding Club What is that? A polite way of saying Loan Shark or Payday loan company?

Reminds me of the hunchback George Conway.

He is so greasy but tries to emit a persona of having vast knowledge and wealth. The guy looks like the son of Rosie O’Donnell and Quasimodo. Why did Kellyanne ever marry that filthy slob? Would be very fitting if he ended up the same way as Brandon Miller.

Trump got a judgement against him for being “dodgy” with his net worth filings.

C’mon man.

What about this guy?

I totally agree. I always wonder how many people are in huge debt to keep up with the Jones’s. I believe it’s a large number.
