Because so little is known about the source of Epstein's wealth, pretty much any revelation from the coming investigation would help shed light into the financial black hole
Jeffrey Epstein circa 2003. Photo: Neil Rasmus/Patrick McMullan via Getty Image Billionaire is a word that’s often thrown around when discussing Jeffrey Epstein, and unlike some of his other common modifiers — convicted sex offender, pedophile — there’s scant proof of the financier’s reputation in that regard.
He would take total control of the billion dollars, charge a flat fee, and assume power of attorney to do whatever he thought was necessary to advance his client’s financial cause. And he remained true to the $1 billion entry fee. According to people who know him, if you were worth $700 million and felt the need for the services of Epstein and Co., you would receive a not-so-polite no-thank-you from Epstein.
Do we know how much he’s worth? Not really. According to his lawyers, around the time of his notorious plea deal in Florida in 2008 Epstein’s net worth was over nine figures. The figure was “a bone of contention with Epstein’s lawyers,” Spencer Kuvin, an attorney representing three of Epstein’s alleged victims, told the Palm Beach Post in 2008. “In the litigation itself we were never able to get him to produce verified financial information. The ‘nine figures’ came by negotiation.

Jeffrey Epstein Swears He Didn’t Know Sex-Trafficking Ring Was UnderageNEW YORK—Defending himself against the charges he faces from federal prosecutors, billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly swore Monday that he didn’t know the sex-trafficking ring he ran was underage. “I admit they were young-looking, but I was completely unaware that the large network of girls I was sexually exploiting were all minors,” said Epstein, adding that he was pretty sure he asked each and every one of the teenagers to confirm that they were legal adults before luring them to his home and forcing them to perform sex acts on him and his friends. “They were probably wearing makeup that made them appear to be older 20-year-old sex slaves instead of the actual 13- and 14-year-olds I was molesting and raping. Had I known, I would have told them to go right back to wherever it was I smuggled them from and tricked some adult women into my horrific sex-trafficking ring. I guess in some ways, you could say that I’m the real victim here.” Epstein added that the nude photos of underage girls seized from his home were for an art project and not for pornographic purposes.
