Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel & Wife Miranda Kerr Clear $550 Million in Medical Debt for 260K People

The nonprofit will send notice letters in mid-July after buying qualifying debt in bulk from providers and collection agencies.

  • On Thursday, June 25, 2026, Snap Chief Executive Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr announced a partnership with nonprofit Undue Medical Debt, erasing over $550 million in medical debt for over 261,000 Californians.
  • Spiegel and Kerr stated that families should focus on healing rather than lingering bills, as medical debt has become the leading cause of bankruptcy for one in four Americans.
  • Undue Medical Debt acquires bundled debt for pennies on the dollar from hospitals and collection agencies; beneficiaries will receive notification letters starting in mid-July.
  • Relief is concentrated in the state's hardest-pressed areas, with San Diego County residents receiving roughly $99 million in debt relief and Los Angeles County residents seeing $26.7 million cleared.
  • This donation contributes to Undue Medical Debt's total of over $40 billion in debt erased since 2014, while Spiegel, whose net worth is roughly $2.1 billion, has funded past relief efforts.
