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]
For much of his adult life, Jeffrey Epstein lived in a grand townhouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side: the HerbertN. Straus House, located at 9East 71stStreet. His mentor, Les Wexner, bought it in 1989 for about $13million and renovated it; Epstein started living there around 1995 and bought it outright from Wexner in 1998 for $20million.[3][4] The property was valued at around $56million by the city in 2019.[5] The mansion sold in 2021 for $51million, with proceeds going towards victim compensation.[6][7]
Epstein bought a 14,000-square-foot house at 358El Brillo Way in Palm Beach for $2.5million in 1990.[8][9] The property was valued at about $12.4million in 2019; it was sold in 2021 for $18.5million and the building was later demolished by the new owner.[10][11][12]
In 1993, Epstein bought the Zorro Ranch near Stanley, New Mexico, from the family of former governor Bruce King. It was worth around $17million in 2019.[13] The ranch was listed in 2021 for $27.5million and sold in 2023 for an undisclosed sum.[14][15]
Little Saint James, also known as Epstein's Island
Epstein bought the 72-acre Little Saint James island in 1998 for about $8million, turning it into a private retreat with a main house, guest villas, pools, and beaches.[16] Valued at over $63million in 2019, it was sold along with Great Saint James in 2023 for $60million total, with half going to settlements.[17]
Epstein bought the neighboring 165-acre Great Saint James in 2016 for between $18 and $22.5million. 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]
