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 always thought George Conway had sort of Down’s Syndrome look to him.
All for show. I’m glad I don’t have that genetic predisposition.
Symbol of American greatness today.
Doesn’t his debt follow his wife?
In the photos, Brandon Miller looks like such a nice guy. Wouldn’t be surprised if the social-climbing wife was the driver of their financial disaster. If you want to hang with Ivanka, you’ve gotta have the house, the cars, the clothes. Puts a lot of pressure on a man.
Brandon was a rolling stone.
So is the wife’s name Candace or Candice? So sick of the sloppy writing.
Yes, very sad. I hope she learns to pursue what is of real value in life.
I think a lot more people are in the same predicament.

If you owe 34 thousand dollars you are in trouble.
If you owe 34 million dollars the bank is in trouble.

Let’s go, Brandon!
Someone at American Express is going to be in trouble. You would think they’d do a credit check long before the balance got to $300,000.
I have two sisters with one having 2 mortgages and the other 3 mortgages and one of them having the city nearly taking the house over property tax owed. When my father passed away his brother told me about my older sister that she won’t have a sugar daddy anymore... : )
I have 7 figures due to owning stock but this is before taxes which means only 6 figures if all sold now. I live cheap. I know it will go up and I can wait before getting the big house and young wife....
I do not owe any tax as I am living off borrowed money from the broker and have not sold any stock. The stock has fallen and only fairly recently gone up to where it was when I retired in Nov 2021. I could buy a home back in my home state of Minnesota but not where I live in California. I could buy 2 to 3 homes in Minnesota for 1 house in Calif and they would be bigger with more land.
I figure I can relax when the stock doubles and Trump is in the White House and I buy Starlink IPO when Musk announces it. I still cannot bring myself to pay for a new car or a more expensive apartment or a townhouse. Most cars I have owned were under $10 grand total while my latest 2016 Honda Accord Sport was about $18k and I only bought it because I got some insurance from a car accident for the totaled car that brought the price way down! The current car is paid off and insurance is $134/month. Just rent and groceries and a few bills. My social security that I will one day collect will pay off all I owe every month. I am set but my 2 sisters are not unless they sell their homes and move and buy a cheaper place.
I figure once the stock goes up more that I will be making more just in interest then what I was making working a whole year.
I figure with the stock I will be able to buy my 3rd younger sister a nice home in Minnesota but I will wait instead of splurging right now.
Trump needs to will or our economy will collapse.
