Parental influencer Candice Miller is auctioning off items from her Hamptons mansion in a quickfire sale, after her husband died by suicide amid a secret financial crisis.
When Brandon Miller took his own life in the garage of the $15 million home, it ended an apparently idyllic family life which his wife had detailed on the “Mama and Tata” Instagram account.
The New York Times has since reported that the eye-watering debts Miller left behind amounted to $33.6 million. His widow was reportedly left with just $8,000 in the bank. However, Candice Miller has benefited from life insurance policies worth $15 million.
Now, she is selling everything from the art that adorned their walls to the furnishings the couple used every day, according to Page Six, after also selling the house.
The auction website describes the sale as “a carefully selected collection of fine art, furniture, decor, and bespoke pieces that were part of the home’s decor, providing an exclusive chance to own a piece of this stunning, meticulously crafted living space.”
“For collectors and design enthusiasts, this is an unmissable opportunity to acquire rare, beautifully curated items,” it went on.
A massage table, zebra head mount, woven baskets and a popcorn machine are being sold for mere dollars among the more luxury items, numbering 225 in total. Brandon’s golf clubs appear to be in there, too, currently going for $205.
His widow told friends she had no knowledge of his dire financial state before he died, The Times reported.
Miller and her two daughters now live in a $10 million apartment in Miami, which has been loaned to them by its owner, an LLC connected to Alexander von Fürstenberg. Von Fürstenberg is a director of IAC, which is part owner of the Daily Beast.
