DOJ Files Reveal Epstein Planned $50 Million and Properties for Girlfriend in Final Will

New records show the estate was moved into a victim‑compensation trust, leaving about $127 million tied up in U.S. Virgin Islands probate.

Overview

  • The will, executed on Aug. 8, 2019, came two days before Epstein was found dead in jail, and it was signed by attorney Darren Indyke on Aug. 18.
  • Karyna Shuliak was designated to receive $50 million, Little Saint James, Zorro Ranch, the Upper East Side townhouse, residences in Paris and Palm Beach, and a near‑33‑carat diamond ring noted “in contemplation of marriage.”
  • The document listed at least 44 beneficiaries and outlined distribution of an estate then estimated around $288 million.
  • Those payouts were not made as written because the estate was transferred to a trust used to settle victim claims, taxes and legal costs.
  • Recent filings indicate about $127 million remains under administration in U.S. Virgin Islands probate, as the Justice Department’s mass release made the will and related records public.
