UnitedHealth executive security spending amid Brian Thompson killing

UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest health insurance companies in the United States, faced a tragic event last year when its CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, was shot and killed in early December. The shocking incident occurred just before the company’s annual investor conference in New York City. The alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, was indicted by a grand jury and could potentially face the death penalty if convicted.

In response to Thompson’s untimely death and the subsequent public backlash against UnitedHealth, the company ramped up security measures for its top executives. According to recent filings, UnitedHealth spent nearly $1.7 million on security for its executives in the final weeks of 2024. This significant expense was a departure from previous years, as the company had not provided substantial security stipends to its leaders before.

The filing revealed that Thompson had incurred no security costs up to his death, indicating that the increased security spending likely took place after the tragic event. Police were reportedly called to UnitedHealth’s campus more than 100 times following Thompson’s killing, highlighting the heightened security concerns faced by the company.

Heather Cianfrocco, the CEO of UnitedHealth’s Optum division, accrued the highest executive security costs of nearly $1 million, while UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty received over $150,000 worth of security expenses. The company also paid Thompson’s estate $28.7 million last year, primarily in the form of stock converted into cash after his death. Additionally, Thompson’s family received over $271,000 to cover funeral expenses, family transportation, home security costs, and other related support.

Witty, who earned more than $16.4 million last year, saw most of his income coming from stock gains. However, executives at UnitedHealth received lower bonuses due to financial losses stemming from a cyberattack on the company’s Change Healthcare subsidiary.

Despite the increased security measures and financial compensations, UnitedHealth has remained tight-lipped about Thompson’s security arrangements. New York police confirmed that Thompson was alone at the time of the shooting. The company’s response to the tragedy and its efforts to address security threats and customer backlash have been closely watched by industry observers and the public alike.
