New Epstein Documents Reveal $288 Million Fortune Distribution Plan
Newly released documents from the Department of Justice shed light on Jeffrey Epstein’s final wishes, indicating that he planned to leave $50 million, a 33-carat diamond ring, Little Saint James island, and his New York townhouse to his partner in his last will. Epstein, who passed away shortly after executing the will, aimed to divide his substantial $288 million fortune and various international assets among over 44 recipients.
Karyna Shuliak, identified as Epstein’s partner from Belarus, was a significant beneficiary of the will, potentially maintaining a romantic relationship with Epstein for almost a decade. Apart from the multimillion-dollar gifts, Shuliak was also designated properties in Paris and Florida according to the will.
In a surprising revelation, an email from the Epstein documents highlighted his opinion on former President Trump, citing that ‘the world does not understand how dumb Trump is.’ Additionally, reports indicate that Epstein may have covered Shuliak’s mother’s medical expenses and contributed to her parents’ luxury residence in Minsk, Belarus.
The will also detailed a 33-carat diamond ring intended for Shuliak, hinting at a potential marriage proposal. Epstein met his demise while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, with his lawyer, Darren Indyke, witnessing the will just eight days after his death.
Indyke and Epstein’s accountant, Richard Kahm, were slated to receive significant sums from the estate, with the remaining funds being utilized to compensate victims, settle taxes, and cover legal fees. The estate reportedly still holds $127 million.
Noteworthy beneficiaries of the will include Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, along with Epstein’s brother Mark and his pilot Larry Visoski, who stand to inherit substantial amounts. Shuliak, who was the last person to speak with Epstein before his death, also visited him at the Metropolitan Correctional Center shortly before his passing.
The Department of Justice recently made public three million documents from the Epstein files, offering further insights into Epstein’s estate planning decisions.
