In the latest release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein from the Department of Justice, it is revealed that in his final will, he planned to leave his partner $50 million, a 33-carat diamond ring, Little Saint James island, and his New York townhouse.
Epstein finalized the will just two days before his death, outlining the distribution of a $288 million fortune and various international assets to over 44 recipients.
His partner, Karyna Shuliak, identified as being from Belarus, was a significant beneficiary, potentially sharing a romantic relationship with Epstein for nearly a decade. Apart from the mentioned gifts, she was also designated properties in Paris and Florida in the will.
The will also includes Epstein’s comments on Donald Trump’s intelligence, stating that ‘the world does not understand how dumb Trump is’ in an email disclosed from the Epstein documents.
Reports indicate that Epstein supported Shuliak’s mother’s medical expenses and potentially assisted in financing her parents’ luxury residence in Minsk, Belarus.
The 33-carat diamond ring intended for Shuliak was described as being for a potential marriage, featuring baguette-cut diamonds set in platinum.
Epstein passed away while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. The will was witnessed by his attorney, Darren Indyke, eight days after his death.
Indyke was set to inherit $50 million, while his accountant, Richard Kahm, was to receive $25 million. The remaining estate was transferred to a trust for compensating victims, settling taxes, and covering legal costs.
According to reports, $127 million remains from the total sum after these distributions.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is entitled to $10 million from the estate, along with Epstein’s brother Mark and pilot Larry Visoski.
Shuliak had the last phone conversation with Epstein before his death and visited him at the Metropolitan Correctional Center 11 days earlier.
The Department of Justice released three million documents from the Epstein files on Friday, providing additional insights into Epstein’s will.
