Brandon Miller ‘nearly in tears’ over money woes before suicide, left Candice with $33.6M debt


Brandon Miller was so distraught over his financial situation just before he died by suicide last July that he was brought close to tears when confronted by a lender, according to a new report.

An individual who lent him $208,000 in early June — and has chosen to remain anonymous — told the New York Times Friday the late real estate mogul “came to him nearly in tears.”

The lender said he had agreed to let Miller borrow from him to begin with because he previously lent him $1 million and the real estate businessman paid back all but $60,000 of that first loan.

However, with his back against the wall and several other reported outstanding debts, Miller reportedly even offered a piece of his $15 million Hamptons property as collateral for the second loan.

By mid-June, the lender said the businessman stopped responding to his texts and calls. He then died shortly after at age 43 after poisoning himself with carbon monoxide inside of his white Porsche Carrera.

The lender told the New York Times that he now wishes he “had not exerted so much pressure” on Miller.

However, there were many other lenders likely fueling the father of two’s mental strain, as he reportedly owed $4 million for a separate unpaid loan — which his wife, Candice Miller, has since settled — and $194,881.89 in unpaid rent for the couple’s former Park Avenue apartment in New York City.

The New York Times reported that Brandon’s debt is much higher than was previously reported, totaling closer to $33.6 million, which Candice, 42, has now been left to deal with.

In August, Page Six exclusively reported that the former Mama + Tata mommy blogger packed her bags and moved with her two kids to Miami to start a new life.

She had also put her Hamptons home on the market in an effort to repay her late husband’s debts.

The 8,000-square-foot property — which was built in 2013, spans over 1.12 acres and includes a pool house and state-of-the-art amenities — reportedly sold last week and helped settle the $208,000 debt of the lender who spoke to the New York Times. His previous $60,000 loan is still outstanding, though.

Brandon reportedly also left behind $8,000 in his bank account and $15 million in life insurance, of which he informed his wife in his suicide note and three people familiar with his finances confirmed to the Times.

While Candice — who was left “devastated” over the loss of her “soul mate” — may be slowly coming out of the woods after his death, the Miller family suffered yet another heartbreaking loss earlier this month.

Brandon’s mother, Barbara Miller, died with a “broken heart” at age 81, according to the late real estate developer’s sister, Maurley Miller.

A family rep told the New York Times after Brandon’s suicide, “Candice is devastated by the loss of her soul mate.”

“We are desperately trying to find comfort and peace in knowing that she has been reunited with her beloved husband, Michael, and precious son, Brandon,” she told the New York Times.

“The tragedy that my family has endured over the past few months has been absolutely devastating. The pain is indescribable.”

Barbara was reportedly laid to rest next to Brandon and her late husband’s graves.
