Brian was legally married to his wife, Polette Thompson, when he passed away. Polette reacted to her husband’s death in an interview with NBC News, revealing that Brian had received «some threats».
«There were some threats. Mostly, I don’t know, lack of coverage?» Polette told the publication. «I don’t know the details. I just know he said some people were threatening him».
When asked for details, Polette noted that she couldn’t «give a thoughtful response right now», - adding, «I just found out about this and am trying to comfort my children».
Brian and Polette are raising two children together. According to many sources, they have two sons.
Shortly before Brian was shot, the Wall Street Journal reported that he and his wife had been living in separate homes for several years. Brian purchased a $ 1 million home in Maple Grove, Minnesota in 2018, near where Polette and their sons lived, according to WSJ.
However, it is unclear whether Brian and Polette were seeking a divorce in the past few years. They remained legally married at the time of his death.
After becoming CEO of UnitedHealthcare in early 2021, Brian’s net income increased to nearly $ 43 million, according to WallMine, as reported by the Daily Beast. He was earning an annual salary of around $ 10 million, as reported by the Daily Mail
