The American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein maintained a number of properties and estates from 1990, acquiring multiple properties until his death in 2019.[1][2]

New York City

Epstein's former house in New York

For much of his adult life, Jeffrey Epstein lived in a grand townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side: the Herbert N. Straus House, located at 9 East 71st Street. His mentor, Les Wexner, bought it in 1989 for about $13 million and renovated it; Epstein started living there around 1995 and bought it outright from Wexner in 1998 for $20 million.[3][4] The property was valued at around $56 million by the city in 2019.[5] The mansion sold in 2021 for $51 million, with proceeds going towards victim compensation.[6][7]

Palm Beach, Florida

Epstein bought a 14,000-square-foot house at 358 El Brillo Way in Palm Beach for $2.5 million in 1990.[8][9] The property was valued at about $12.4 million in 2019; it was sold in 2021 for $18.5 million and the building was later demolished by the new owner.[10] [11][12]

Zorro Ranch, New Mexico

In 1993, Epstein bought the Zorro Ranch near Stanley, New Mexico, from the family of former governor Bruce King. It was worth around $17 million in 2019.[13] The ranch was listed in 2021 for $27.5 million and sold in 2023 for an undisclosed sum.[14][15]

Little Saint James, also known as Epstein's Island

U.S. Virgin Islands

Little Saint James

Epstein bought the 72-acre Little Saint James island in 1998 for about $8 million, turning it into a private retreat with a main house, guest villas, pools, and beaches.[16] Valued at over $63 million in 2019, it was sold along with Great Saint James in 2023 for $60 million total, with half going to settlements.[17]

Great Saint James

Epstein bought the neighboring 165-acre Great Saint James in 2016 for between $18 and $22.5 million. Mostly undeveloped, he planned an amphitheater and underwater office, but construction halted.[18] It sold with Little Saint James in 2023.[19]

Paris, France

Epstein also owned a 685 square meter (7,373 square foot) apartment at 22 Avenue Foch in Paris's 16th arrondissement, where he was heading from when arrested in 2019. In 2022, it was sold to a Bulgarian tycoon for $10.4 million.[20] [21]

Vail, Colorado

Elizabeth Ross "Libet" Johnson (1950–2017)[22] was one of the heirs to the Johnson & Johnson fortune as she was Robert Wood Johnson III's daughter. In the mid-1990s, Epstein worked as Johnson's financial advisor.[23] In 1994, she gave more than $2 million to the J. Epstein Foundation and also bought a piece of property in Vail, Colorado for $5.6 million. In 1996, she had a 7,738-square-foot European-style ski chalet built that sleeps 18 people, with seven en-suite bedrooms, and direct access to two ski resorts.[24][25][26]

In May 1998, Johnson established The Elizabeth Ross Johnson Amended and Restated Revocable Trust, with only herself and Epstein as trustees. Several months later, Johnson transferred the deed to her Vail home to the trust. She stopped contact with Epstein in the late 1990s, but his name remained in the trust until after his death. Johnson died in 2017 and the estate passed down to Johnson's heirs. Epstein died in 2019, and the home was sold in 2021 for $24 million.[24][25]

Although Epstein was a trustee, Johnson still had use of her home.[27]

Marrakesh, Morocco

The day before his arrest, Epstein sent a wire transfer for $14.9 million to buy the Bin Ennakhil palace in the Palmeraie neighborhood. He had been in negotiations for this property since 2011. When he made a low offer to the owner, German waste magnate Gunter Kiss, the owner refused to deal with him again. Thereafter, Epstein's fiancé Karyna Shuliak pretended to be acting on behalf of Epstein's billionaire investor friend, Leon Black to continue property inspections.

The money transfer was part of $27.7 million that Charles Schwab Corporation wired to a Moroccan realtor on Epstein's behalf[28] Three days after his arrest (on July 9), Epstein's accountant Richard Kahn canceled the wire transfer and the purchase.[29] On July 13, Schwab flagged the payments in a suspicious activity report to the US Treasury.[28]

The estate has a palace, 60 marble fountains, marble courtyards, and gold salons among more than 2,000 palm trees on the 4.6 hectares (11.4 acres) property.[30]
