UnitedHealth Group disclosed that it spent nearly $1.7 million on security for its top executives in 2024. This expenditure is reportedly four times the corporate average for executive security.
The significant increase in security spending comes months after the fatal shooting of senior executive Brian Thompson in December. This event prompted a reassessment of executive protection measures across the company and the broader industry.
The disclosure, made in a regulatory filing, highlights the ongoing concerns about executive safety and the financial commitment UnitedHealth is making to address these threats. Experts anticipate these security costs to continue climbing.
