Jeffrey Epstein owned an extraordinary portfolio of real estate worth an estimated $170–200 million at the time of his death. The disposition of each property followed different legal and market paths.
New York Mansion (9 East 71st Street)
The seven-story Manhattan townhouse — one of the largest private homes in New York City — was sold in 2011 to Epstein’s brother Mark for $1. The estate transferred it as part of internal financial arrangements. After Jeffrey’s death it was listed on the open market. It sold in 2021 for approximately $51 million to a Brazilian banker.
Palm Beach Estate (358 El Brillo Way)
Epstein purchased this oceanfront Palm Beach property for $2.5 million in 1990. It was the site of most of the crimes for which he was prosecuted in 2008. The estate sold in 2021 for $18.5 million. The buyer demolished the structure.
Little Saint James Island (U.S. Virgin Islands)
Epstein purchased this 70-acre island in 1998 for approximately $7.95 million. It became the center of victim allegations and later served as the primary subject of USVI civil lawsuits against his estate. The island was listed for sale and sold in 2024 for around $60–70 million to a private buyer.
Great Saint James Island (U.S. Virgin Islands)
Purchased in 2016 for approximately $18 million from a neighbor, this 165-acre island was intended for expansion. It was also included in the USVI civil action. It was sold along with Little Saint James in the 2024 transaction or separately in a related deal.
Zorro Ranch (New Mexico)
The roughly 10,000-acre ranch near Stanley, New Mexico was used for trips with scientists and associates. It was listed for sale post-death and eventually sold for approximately $18 million.
Paris Apartment
Epstein maintained a luxury apartment in Paris. French judicial authorities investigated activities there. The property was disposed of as part of estate administration.
Net Proceeds
Sale proceeds were directed to Epstein’s estate, which funded the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program administered by attorney Kenneth Feinberg. The program distributed $125 million to victims.
