Months After Her Husband’s Death, Influencer Candice Miller Has Sold Their Hamptons Home

Some six months following the suicide of real-estate developer Brandon Miller, and some five months after his main asset — a roughly 8,000-square-foot residence in the Hamptons — listed for sale, the East End property is officially in the hands of a new owner.

That’s according to a Friday report in the New York Times, which added the seven-bedroom Water Mill property — whose specific street address is not disclosed in its listing — was saddled with five mortgages totaling nearly $12 million.

However, the final sale price and the identity of the new owner are not known.

Brandon Miller was the husband of the influencer Candice Miller, best known for her “Mama & Tata” Instagram account — a lifestyle page showing her luxurious, high-flying life.

In the early days of summer, at the age of 43, Miller poisoned himself in the garage of this Hamptons estate, dying over the July 4th holiday at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, while facing nearly $34 million in debts. He left behind Candice and their two daughters.

At the time of his death, Miller had $8,000 in the bank

And just a month after he passed away, the family’s Water Mill residence listed for sale, asking $15.49 million, according to the OutEast listings portal.

Represented by East End brokerage titan Bespoke Real Estate, which declined to comment for this story, the property’s listing described its 1.12 acres and 2013 completion date. The marketing images show a shingled exterior — and airy interiors with a spacious eat-in kitchen, fireplaces in multiple rooms, a movie theater and massive windows that flood the residence with light.

Outside, the images also show, there’s a pool with room for lounge seating, and a small pool house with a kitchen and space for indoor seating.

Candice, according to court records cited by the Times, considered at least two offers for the residence and its furnishings. There was one for $12.8 million and another, slightly higher, for $13 million. It traded hands last week.

A portion of the sale’s proceeds, in part, repaid a $208,000 loan and its interest, the paper said.

At the end of his life, Miller was in an intense need for cash. In tears, he turned to a lender, who let him borrow that six-figure sum in early June, or about a month before his death. Miller said he would repay the sum in a week, offering a piece of this Hamptons home as collateral, the Times reported.

By the middle of that month, Miller stopped responding to the lender’s calls and text messages. The lender, whose identity was not disclosed by the Times, began reaching out to Miller’s lawyer to urge he make a good-faith partial payment, which he never did.

The lender told the Times he wishes he had not put such pressure on Miller.

In the wake of Miller’s death, Candice and her daughters left New York for Miami Beach, where they’re residing in a $10 million, three-bedroom condo.

That property was purchased in 2023 by a trust linked to Alexander von Fürstenberg, son of the fashion mogul Diane von Fürstenberg and her late ex-husband, Prince Egon von Fürstenberg.
