David Stern (born January 1978) is a German-French businessman. He was an aide to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Andrew, Duke of York) and frequently communicated with Jeffrey Epstein.
He was born in January 1978[1] and is a German-French dual national. Stern speaks 6 languages.[2][3] Stern is believed to be living in the United Arab Emirates as of 2026.[2] Stern had an advisory role at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School.[2]
Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
In October 2016, Stern emailed Epstein to suggest that they should buy Deutsche Bank and that the bank's largest shareholder, the Monarchy of Qatar could be "aligned via PA".[2]
Stern founded Asia Gateway Limited in 2022 with offices in Beijing and London.[4] Stern had previously pitched Chinese business related deals to Epstein.[4] Stern tried to help Epstein secure a travel visa for China in 2012 but Epstein was denied the visa due to his criminal record.[4] Stern told Epstein in a 2011 email that "For the African investment vehicle we can be the bridge between the Chinese and African side: both get what they want with maximum protection/distance (ie no direct Chinese involvement) through us as intermediary. It can be a deal machine once Chinese capital gets involved. It would fit in perfectly with the other plan of managing Chinese wealth".[4]
Stern encouraged Epstein to buy Dukes Hotel in London's St James's district in 2010.[4] Epstein introduced Stern to Peter Mandelson and asked him to call Mandelson in April 2011.[4] Epstein wrote in an email that he would ask Steve Bannon if could meet Stern in London in July 2018.[4]
