You may think you know the story of Brandon Miller, a New York real estate developer who worked tirelessly to maintain a lavish lifestyle—and died by suicide in 2024 after amassing an enormous amount of debt. But as Hannah Seligson’s thorough reporting into Brandon and his wife, Candice Miller, reveals, there’s a lot more to them than what’s been printed in The New York Times and The Real Deal. Interviews with people close to the couple, as well as text messages and documents like credit card records—many of which haven’t been previously reported—indicate that a multitude of factors may have contributed to Brandon’s decline: mental health issues, poorly timed real estate ventures, and the couple’s attempts to keep up the lavish lifestyle that Candice chronicled on her Instagram. They also suggest that Candice may not have been completely blind to Brandon’s downward spiral. (For the record, Candice didn’t respond to a list of detailed questions from Vanity Fair.) It’s the perfect deep dive for a long weekend—or a long ride on the jitney.
