New Documents Reveal Epstein’s Plan for Distributing His Millions
Recent documents released by the U.S. Justice Department provide insight into Jeffrey Epstein’s plan for distributing his wealth. The late financier intended to allocate over a quarter billion dollars among friends, family, and associates upon his passing.
Epstein’s Wealth Distribution Plan Revealed
Epstein signed his trust agreement on August 8, 2019, two days before his death. The document, which outlines his wealth distribution, remains significant given the public interest surrounding his estate. His lawyer, Darren Indyke, endorsed the document eight days later, on August 18. Epstein’s longtime accountant, Richard Kahn, signed it the following day.
Key Financial Details
At the time of his death, Epstein was estimated to have about $288 million alongside various international properties. However, current probate court records from the U.S. Virgin Islands reveal that only $127 million is still accessible. This sum is currently entangled in legal proceedings.
Beneficiaries of Epstein’s Estate
The planned distribution included notable amounts for several individuals:
- Karyna Shuliak: $50 million, alongside multiple properties including Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and real estate in New York and Paris.
- Darren Indyke (lawyer): $50 million.
- Richard Kahn (accountant): $25 million.
- Ghislaine Maxwell: $10 million.
- Mark Epstein (brother): $10 million.
- Larry Visoski (pilot): $10 million.
In total, Epstein’s expansive list also includes various employees and associates receiving several million dollars each, although some names remain undisclosed.
Notable Assets Left Behind
In addition to substantial cash bequests, Epstein’s plan also involved transferring a collection of diamonds to Shuliak. This included a specific diamond ring he gifted her “in contemplation of marriage,” described meticulously in the agreement. The ring comprises a 32.73-carat rectangular-cut diamond, surrounded by baguette-cut diamonds.
This detailed estate plan sheds light on Epstein’s intentions for his significant wealth. However, with current legal limitations, much of his estate remains unresolved.
