Real estate giant dead in Hamptons
Real estate mogul Brandon Miller, husband of a social media influencer who started lifestyle blog Mama & Tata, died in the Hamptons last week. He was 43.
Miller was reportedly hospitalized at a Southampton hospital days before his death last Wednesday. There was no confirmed cause of death.
He was buried at the New Montefiore Cemetery in West Babylon over the weekend, according to cemetery records first reported by The Real Deal.
Miller was married to Candice Miller, the socialite who founded Mama & Tata. The couple have two young children.
They own a $9 million house in Tribeca and a $3 million home in Southampton, the Daily Mail reported.
Brandon Miller was a managing partner at REEC — which was founded by his late father, Michael Miller, in 1978 after a career spent developing shopping centers.
He joined his father’s real estate company in 2004 as head of the acquisitions and finance department, according to the REEC website.
The company has purchased or developed more than 20 million square feet of real estate throughout the country, including numerous properties in New York City: 985 Park Ave., 156 Prince St. and 1228 Madison.
Candice Miller — who started her fashion blog with her sister, Jenna Crespi, in 2016 — is the co-founder of vintage-inspired clothing line Black Iris, and the head buyer for the Tenet shop in Southampton, the Daily Mail reported.
The socialite was linked to Ivanka Trump’s social circle in Miami after the two were photographed at the beach in 2021.
Candice Miller’s cousin, Arielle Charnas, is a fashion blogger and founder of Something Navy.
A 2019 complaint alleged Brandon Miller’s father — who died in 2016 — had told an aide to forge his son’s signature on some loan documents related to a condo project. The suit was settled, court documents reported by The Real Deal said.
