Jeffrey Epstein's $630M Fortune Vanished—Where Did the Money Really Go?
Jeffrey Epstein's final will, amended just two days before his death in 2019, outlined a fortune worth $630 million. The document named 43 beneficiaries, including family, associates, and employees. Yet by early 2026, none of the high-profile heirs—such as his ex-girlfriend or the children of a Norwegian diplomat—had received any inheritance.
Instead, control of the estate passed entirely to Epstein's longtime realtor and accountant, who managed its distribution behind closed doors.
Epstein's last-minute changes to his will allocated vast sums to close associates. His accountant, Richard Kahn, was set to receive $25 million, while Darren Indyke, his personal real estate attorney, was named for $50 million. Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein's brother, Mark, were each due $10 million.
Another major beneficiary was Karyna Shuliak, Epstein's girlfriend and fiancée at the time of his death. She was promised $100 million, multiple properties, and a diamond ring—the largest single share of the estate. The children of Norway's former UN ambassador, Mona Juul, were also listed to inherit a combined $8.5 million.
In total, 40 of the 43 named beneficiaries were to split $230 million, with seven individuals receiving between $3 million and $10 million each. However, the will included strict conditions: some employees would only inherit if they remained in their roles after Epstein's death, with firing decisions left to Indyke and Kahn.
Despite these plans, no public records confirm any payouts to Shuliak, Juul's children, or other heirs. By 2026, the estate's assets had either been distributed privately or earmarked for victim compensation. Legal experts note that the funds tied up in Epstein's will are now unlikely to reach the intended beneficiaries.
The fate of Epstein's fortune remains largely undisclosed, with no evidence that Shuliak, Juul's children, or other named heirs ever received their promised shares. The estate's executors, Indyke and Kahn, oversaw its dissolution, directing assets toward private management or victim settlements. As of now, the only confirmed distributions went to the two men themselves—leaving the will's original provisions unfulfilled.
