Jeffrey Epstein wanted to leave his girlfriend $50million, a 33-carat diamond ring, ‘Pedo Island’ and his New York townhouse according to a will he signed two days before he died.
The disgraced financier planned to leave his $288m fortune and his collection of international properties to at least 44 different beneficiaries when he died.
The will, executed by Epstein on August 8, 2019 – just two days before he was found dead in his New York prison cell as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges, was signed by the paedophile’s lawyer Darren Indyke eight days after his death.
But rather than his beneficiaries receiving millions, his estate was passed on to a trust and has since been used to compensate victims and pay taxes and legal fees. There is just $127m left of the original sum, latest accounts show.
Epstein hoped to give his girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, $50m from the will which has been released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of the latest batch of Epstein files.
Ms Shuliak, who is originally from Belarus, is thought to have been in a relationship with Epstein for between eight to ten years.
Her sex offender boyfriend also wanted to give her ‘paedophile island’ Little Saint James, his Zorro Ranch estate, his notorious New York townhouse and properties in Paris and Florida.
He also intended to leave her a 33-carat diamond ring ‘flanked by baguette-cut diamonds mounted in platinum’.

Paedophile Epstein wanted to leave Ms Shuliak $50m, another $50m to his lawyer Darren Indyke and $25m to accountant Richard Kahn
Epstein left a handwritten message on the will, stating the ring was ‘in contemplation of marriage’.
Lawyer Mr Indyke was set to receive $50m while $25m was due to go to Epstein’s accountant Richard Kahn.
Meanwhile, his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking, would receive $10m. As would his brother Mark Epstein and pilot Larry Visoski.
Ms Shuliak was the last person to speak to Epstein on the phone before his suicide.
And prison records revealed that 11 days before his death, she visited him in person at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Ms Shuliak had also been one of several people with Epstein on his private jet when he was arrested in July 2019 – after the FBI apprehended him on his way back from Paris at the popular private-destination Teterboro airport, New Jersey.
Originally from Minsk, the Belarusian is believed to have arrived in the US in 2009 and married Epstein associate Jennifer Kalin.
Within a few years, she became romantically involved with Epstein and would come to earn the nickname ‘the inspector’ for her obsessive snooping on the paedophile during their relationship.
Her connection to Epstein was only revealed a few months after the financier’s death.
Epstein is said to have paid for her mother’s expensive medical treatment, and may have helped fund the upscale home where her parents live in Minsk, the largely rundown capital of Belarus.
The DoJ released three million documents relating to the Epstein files on Friday, including photos and videos of disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (pictured on Saturday)

The DoJ released three million documents from the Epstein files on Friday.
Among the files are thousands of photographs and videos, including several pictures showing disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouching over a woman lying on the floor and touching her stomach.
Other emails show how Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, 66, described paedophile financier Epstein as the ‘brother I have always wished for’.
Emails between Andrew, 65, – who went by the moniker The Invisible Man – and Maxwell in 2002 tell how he sought Maxwell’s ‘permission’ to spend time with his ex-wife and children instead of travelling to the US.
