Who owns Jeffrey Epstein's former properties now?

Short Answer

Epstein’s former properties have largely been sold by the estate. The Manhattan townhouse was sold to hotel developer Michael Daffey in 2022. The Palm Beach mansion was demolished after its 2021 sale. The Paris apartment and the USVI islands have also been transferred. The Zorro Ranch in New Mexico was listed for sale.

In Detail

Manhattan Townhouse (9 East 71st Street)

The nine-story, 21,000-square-foot Upper East Side townhouse was listed and sold by the estate. In 2022, it was sold to Michael Daffey, a Goldman Sachs executive, for approximately $51 million. The property was one of the largest private homes in Manhattan and had been renovated extensively during Epstein’s ownership.

Palm Beach Mansion

Epstein’s Palm Beach residence at 358 El Brillo Way was sold in 2021. The buyer, a real estate developer, subsequently demolished the structure. The demolition was seen by many as removing a physical reminder of the abuse that occurred there and as preparation for new construction on the valuable oceanfront lot.

Paris Apartment

Epstein maintained a large apartment in Paris’s Hotel de Charolais, a historic mansion. The French property was part of the estate administration, and its ultimate disposition was subject to both US estate proceedings and French legal processes.

USVI Islands

Little Saint James was sold in 2024. Great Saint James was transferred to the USVI government as part of the 2022 settlement.

Zorro Ranch (New Mexico)

The approximately 10,000-acre ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, where some victims alleged abuse occurred, was listed for sale as part of the estate wind-down. It had been associated with Epstein’s alleged interest in transhumanist and genetic projects.
