Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion was a large waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida owned by Jeffrey Epstein. It had the address 358 El Brillo Way. It became notorious as the site of his child sexual abuse. In 2005 the property was searched by Palm Beach police, launching what became known as the Epstein scandal. [1] [2] It was demolished in 2021 due to its association with the Epstein scandal. [3]

History

The house was built in 1952 in a West Indies style, designed by Palm Beach architect John L. Volk. Epstein purchased the property in 1990 for $2.5 million. [4]

In 2005 the property was searched by Palm Beach police, launching what became known as the Epstein scandal. [1]

In 2013, Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway stayed in the mansion for several days. [5] She brought her personal guru to the mansion, which was called a "rape villa" in the media. [6]

After Epstein's death by suicide in 2019, the mansion was sold by his estate for $18.5 million to property developer Todd Michael Glaser. Glaser applied to have the address changed to 360 El Brillo Way due to the mansion's notoriety, stating that "you can't imagine how many people drove down that dead-end street" to look at the house. Glaser found it impossible to sell the house. As a result, the house was completely demolished and then sold as an empty lot. [4] Glaser said "Palm Beach is going to be very happy" the building is gone. [3]
