Hey there! Jeffrey Epstein owned quite a few properties beyond Little St. James Island and Zorro Ranch. Here’s what I can tell you based on the info out there:
He had a massive townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, specifically at 9 East 71st Street. This seven-story place was one of the largest private residences in NYC, valued at around $56 million to $77 million depending on who you ask, and he got it from his mentor Les Wexner for a steal back in the '90s. It sold for $51 million in 2021 after his death.
Then there’s his Palm Beach estate in Florida, at 358 El Brillo Way. He bought this one in 1990, and it was a key spot in his legal troubles—lots of allegations tied to that place. It was estimated at over $12 million in 2019 and eventually sold for $18.5 million in 2021, only to be demolished by the buyer.
Epstein also owned an apartment in Paris on Avenue Foch, a ritzy area. Not much is known about how often he used it, but it popped up in searches after his arrest, and it sold for $10 million in 2022—originally listed at $11.9 million.
And don’t forget Great St. James, another private island he snagged in 2016 for $18 million, right next to Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He had big plans for it, like building an amphitheater and an underwater office, but those got shut down after his arrest. Both islands went up for sale together in 2022 for $125 million, later dropped to $55 million each, and were bought by Stephen Deckoff in 2023 for $60 million total.
That’s the rundown—NYC, Palm Beach, Paris, and Great St. James, all part of his sprawling real estate web. Anything else you want to dig into?
Allegedly, Epstein Island had a submarine base, as did the neighboring Water Island that was owned by the Bidens.
