The will of Jeffrey Epstein, signed two days before his death, reveals that his companion, Karyna Shuliak, would receive $50 million, a 33-carat diamond ring, his private island Little Saint James and his luxury New York residence, along with other properties. The will was signed on August 8, 2019 and outlined the distribution of his $288 million estate to at least 44 beneficiaries. After his death, the estate was transferred to a trust for victim compensation, taxes and legal expenses, with approximately $127 million remaining. Shuliak, who maintained a relationship with Epstein for 8 to 10 years, never received the amounts specified in the will.
Epstein’s will and relatives
The document also mentions other gifts to associates and relatives, such as $50 million to lawyer Darren Indyke, $25 million to accountant Richard Kahn and $10 million to Ghislaine Maxwell, while Shuliak was the last person to speak with him before his suicide. The documents include thousands of photos and videos released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Shuliak, born in Minsk, Belarus, arrived in the U.S. in 2009 and married Epstein associate Jennifer Kalin. A few years later she developed a bond with the financier and earned the nickname “the inspector” due to her constant monitoring of her partner. Their relationship only became known after his death. Epstein reportedly covered the expenses for Shuliak’s mother’s treatment and possibly contributed to funding her parents’ luxury home in Minsk. The Department of Justice released approximately three million documents from the case file on Friday.
Among the documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice are thousands of photos and videos, including images of Prince Andrew, who is depicted leaning over a woman and touching her stomach. Other email messages show that Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, called Epstein “the brother I always wanted to have.” In 2002 correspondence, Prince Andrew, who used the pseudonym “The Invisible Man,” asked Maxwell for “permission” to spend time with his ex-wife and children, instead of traveling to the United States.
