Epstein Left Girlfriend $50M, Diamond Ring And Private Island In Final Will

Jeffrey Epstein planned to leave a vast personal fortune to his inner circle — including a $50 million cash bequest, a 33-carat diamond ring and a private Caribbean island to his longtime girlfriend — according to newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Epstein signed the will just two days before his death in August 2019, while he was in federal custody awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. The document outlines plans to distribute a $288 million estate to more than 40 beneficiaries.

At the center of the will is Karyna Shuliak, a woman described as Epstein’s girlfriend for nearly a decade. She was set to receive $50 million in cash, Little Saint James island, Epstein’s New York townhouse, and properties in Paris and Florida. The will also lists a 33-carat diamond ring, described as being given “in contemplation of marriage.”

Court filings and media reports indicate Epstein paid for medical treatment for Shuliak’s mother and helped finance an upscale home for her parents in Belarus. Shuliak was also reportedly the last person to speak to Epstein by phone before his death and had visited him at the Metropolitan Correctional Center days earlier.

Epstein’s lawyer Darren Indyke was named to receive $50 million, while his longtime accountant Richard Kahm was set to inherit $25 million. Other beneficiaries included Epstein’s brother Mark, his pilot Larry Visoski, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was allocated $10 million. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.

Despite the will’s contents, Epstein’s estate was later transferred into a victims’ compensation trust, which has paid out settlements, taxes and legal fees. Roughly $127 million reportedly remains.

The revelations come from a three-million-document DOJ release, reopening scrutiny of Epstein’s finances, relationships and actions in the final days before his death.
