(Times Now) - Recent documents reveal the details of Jeffrey Epstein's will, signed just days before his death in August 2019, which outlined a $288 million estate distribution. Notably, $50 million was designated for his last girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, along with several properties, including his notorious island.
New documents from the Justice Department have pulled back the curtain on Jeffrey Epstein's last will, showing exactly how the convicted sex offender wanted to divvy up his massive fortune just before he died. Back on August 8, 2019, Epstein put his signature on a will that laid out plans for an estate worth around $288 million. That was only two days before he was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, he apparently hanged himself while waiting for his sex trafficking trial to begin.
His longtime lawyer, Darren Indyke, signed off on the document about 10 days later, on August 18. The will named at least 44 people who were supposed to get pieces of the pie, including cash, real estate, and some very flashy items.
Big Gifts Planned for His Last Girlfriend
A big chunk was earmarked for Karyna Shuliak, the Belarus-born woman described as Epstein's last known girlfriend, as per a report from New York Post. She was set to receive $50 million in cash. On top of that, the will handed her his famous Upper East Side townhouse in New York, the notorious Little Saint James island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, widely called "Pedo Island" because of the crimes tied to it there, plus his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, a place in Paris, and property in Palm Beach.
Epstein also wanted her to have a huge diamond ring, close to 33 carats, with baguette-cut diamonds set in platinum. He even scribbled a handwritten note right on the will saying the ring was "in contemplation of marriage." That detail first came out through the Daily Mail.
Other Big Names on the List
The documents show Epstein planned to give $10 million each to Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite convicted as his madam in the sex trafficking scheme, and to his brother, Mark Epstein.
What Actually Happened to the Money
None of those intended payouts went through the way Epstein wrote them. Instead, everything rolled into a trust after his death. That trust has been paying out to his victims, covering legal bills, taxes, and other costs tied to the mess he left behind.
Latest figures show only about $127 million left in the estate, and it's still stuck in probate court down in the U.S. Virgin Islands. A lot of the properties got sold off over the years to help fund settlements for survivors.
